Steps:
- Put 1 cup water in bottom of Instant Pot. Place steamer basket** in insert and add cubed butternut squash. Close and seal Instant Pot and set for manual high pressure 5 minutes. After cooking, do a natural pressure release for 5-10 minutes then release any remaining pressure.
- Mash cooked butternut squash with sour cream, salt, and thyme. Set aside until ready to assemble your dish.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and garlic. Stir frequently. When onion is soft, add ground meat.
- Add cornstarch, oregano, salt, and pepper. Fry, stirring and breaking up meat into smaller pieces frequently. When meat is almost cooked through, add peas and corn. Continue to cook until meat is cooked through and vegetables are hot.
- At this point, if there is enough space in your pan for the topping, you can top it with the mashed butternut squash. Otherwise, transfer to a 9×13 dish. If you want to divide this into multiple meals, do so before topping.

Steps:
- Put the unpeeled potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with water, bring to the boil and simmer for 40 mins until the skins start to split. Drain and leave to cool a little.
- Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-based sauté pan or flameproof casserole dish. Add the mushrooms, leeks , onions, carrots and the stock cube and cook gently for 5 mins , stirring every so often. If it starts to stick, reduce the heat and stir more frequently, scraping the bits from the bottom. The veg should be soft but not mushy.
- Add the garlic, tomato purée, paprika, squash and herbs. Stir and turn the heat up a bit, cook for 3 mins, add the celery, then stir and cook for a few more mins.
- Tip in the chickpeas along with the water in the can and reserved mushroom stock. Add the peas and spinach and stir well. Cook for 5 mins, stirring occasionally, then season, turn off and set aside. There should still be plenty of liquid and the veg should be bright and a little firm.
- Peel the potatoes and discard the skin. Mash 200g with a fork and stir into the veg. Break the rest of the potatoes into chunks, mix with the olive oil and parsley and season.
- Divide the filling into the pie dishes and top with the potatotes. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and bake the pies for 40-45 mins, until the top is golden and the filling is heated through. If making individual pies, check after 20 mins. Best served with tomato ketchup - as all great shepherd's pies are.
