Cottage Pie

Makes me feel all cosy.

500g good minced beef
2 onions
can of chopped tomatoes
dash of Worcestershire sauce
squirt of HP sauce
3 cloves of garlic
a litle water
two beef oxo cubes
salt and pepper

Top the cooked and cooled meat mixture with lots of creamy cheesey mashed potatoes and bake till bubblingly brown.
Serve with some baked beans or tinned peas.


When I was a little girl we lived in a flat and one of our neighbours was an Irish woman who made the most gorgeous of pies.
To this day I don't know what was in it. But the taste has remained locked in my food memory all this time.
She kept tortoises.
