You'll need
- Pork mince500g
- Onions1
- Carrots5g
- Stock cubes1 cube
- Tomato purée30g
- Sweet potatoes800g
- Butter30g
- Thyme5g
Salt, pepper and oil from the cupboard. Amounts are for four; the app scales them for you.
Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C. Soften the onion (1) and carrots (5g) (8 min), then brown the pork (500g) (6 min).
Kitchen note Take your time with onions. Low heat and a pinch of salt for a good 8 to 10 minutes until soft and sweet. Rushed onions stay sharp and crunchy.
- Add tomato purée (30g), thyme (5g) and 300ml stock and simmer until thick (15 min).
Kitchen note A low simmer means a lazy bubble now and then, not a boil. Stews and sauces are always better the next day, if you can wait.
- Boil the sweet potatoes (800g) (12 min) and mash with butter (30g).
Kitchen note For mash, steam-dry the drained potatoes in the pan for a minute, then mash with warm milk and butter. Cold milk makes it gluey.
- Tip the pork into a dish, top with the mash and bake until golden at the edges (20 min).
