Cottage pie.
This week I decided to meal prep, as my mother helps me cook
and cooks for me during the week. I figured this can also be beneficial financially, also save time as I wouldn't need to come home from work and have to make food.
I roasted one butternut, spiced it with salt&pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon and thyme.
1 and a half chopped up onion.
2 tomatoes.
2 cloves of garlic.
1 and half bell peppers.
1 tbsp miso paste.
1 tsp chillies.
2 carrots.
250/350 mls beef stock.
1 cup of each, red lentils, split peas and soup mix (I cooked this together for like 25+ mins).
It's important to season your food at every stage. So after adding the garlic I'll start seasoning with salt and pepper, six gun grill spices, paprika, any other meat seasoning that you can get. I usually buy from food lovers, I try and use fresh herbs/spices as much as I can. It really elevates the taste.
For the mash potato I used, you guessed it potatoes &&&&& butternut!!! The roasted butternut of earlier, adding the half with about 5 potatoes really makes it great, creamy, golden and full of flavour!
Mash the butternut and potatoes together, season with salt and pepper, I add about 2/3 tbsp of butter and soya milk until it's nice and creamy, with a thick consistency.
I didn't put this into the oven, you can of course, but I just went in!
