Cottage Pie or Hachis Parmentier in France, is comfort food at its best! I make it using leftover pulled beef for a deeply savoury filling, but it can also be made using mince.

Directions
Heat oil in a large oven-proof dish over medium high heat. Add carrot, onion, celery and garlic, cook for 5 minutes, or until softened and sweet.
Add a mixed spice blend (such as oregano, smoked paprika, and garlic), mix it in. Add beef, parsley, tomatoes, stock, salt, pepper and bring to simmer. Then turn down heat, cover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In the meantime, boil the potatoes for 30 minutes or until soft. Drain then return to pot, add butter and mash until melted, then add milk and salt. Mash and mix with a wooden spoon until smooth.
To assemble the pie, spread onto pie, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, cheese and bake for 30 minutes or until golden on top and bubbling on the edges. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
