Number Of Ingredients 19

350 g quorn mince (1 frozen bag)
2 medium diced onions
2 celery ribs
1 large leek, sliced
3 medium diced carrots
3 minced garlic cloves
1 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 vegetable bouillon cubes
1 tablespoon vegetables, gravy granules
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb potato (peeled and cut into chunks)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
4 ounces Mature cheddar cheese (grated)
3 cups water
1 1/2 tablespoons margarine
3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

Preheat your oven to gas mark 6.
In a large saucepan birng some water to the boil and the salt and the potatoes simmer until tender about 15-20 minute.
Whilst you potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a pan and gently fry the onions carrots celery and leeks together for about 5 minutes on a medium heat. Transfer into a large casserole dish. (The reason why I have separated out step 1 and 2 is because my frying pan isn't very big, so I do 2 batches of frying; however if you have a big enough pan you can combine these two steps).
Next fry the quorn mince with the garlic herbs and one of the 0.5 teaspoon of the nutmeg, after about 2 min add one cup of the water and the stock cubes fry gently for about 5 minutes, transfer to the large casserole dish.
Add to the casserole dish the 2 remaining cups of water, gravy granules and tomato paste; give a good stir and put dish in the oven for 15 minutes.
Mash your potatoes with the milk and margarine, adding the remaining nutmeg until smooth and creamy. Spread the mash over the quorn mixture. Make lines with a fork if you wish and sprinkle over the cheese. Put back in the oven for 20 minutes.
Take out and eat--yum yum.
