Cottage Pie with Caulicannon Topping

As it's very close to Halloween now, and I had a dental implant inserted today, which means I need mushy food, I have made cottage pie but with a caulicannon topping.

You'll find my caulicannon recipe here:

Cottage Pie


This is the easiest thing in the world to cook. Just use your usual cottage/shepherd's pie recipe and top with cauliflower purée instead of mashed potatoes. If you don't have a recipe, here's mine!

Ingredients

1 onion, chopped
400g lean minced beef
1 beef stock cube
4 tsps Worcestershire sauce
10 button mushrooms, sliced
1 large cauliflower
20g cheddar, grated


  1. Sauté onion in a large frying pan until soft
  2. Add beef and cook until thoroughly browned
  3. Add mushrooms
  4. Crumble in stock cube, Worcestershire sauce and about 4 tablespoons of boiling water
  5. Mix well and simmer for 10 minutes
  6. Transfer the meat mixture into an ovenproof dish
  7. Chop cauliflower into florets and steam or boil for 8 minutes
  8. Drain and purée (I use a stick blender)
  9. Cover meat mixture with the cauliflower
  10. Sprinkle grated cheddar over the top
  11. Cook in a preheated oven for 30 minutes at 200°C or until heated through and cheese has melted and browned
  12. Serve with steamed green beans and carrots
