A Pie in a Spud


Serves 4

Ingredients

Method

  1. Arrange potatoes in a large round on double thickness of good kitchen paper towels on the microwave tray. Then cook in the microwave on high for about 12-15 mins until cooked through, turning once after 6 mins. Remove, cut potatoes in half lengthways and set aside to cool a little
  2. Preheat the oven to 220°C.
  3. Heat a thin layer of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot and gently saute onion, carrot, celery, garlic and bacon until tender.
  4. Add the mince and livers. Cook until colour changes, gently mashing with a wooden spoon as you do so.
  5. Then add wine, 1 cup tomato puree, stock, seasonings and chutney. Cook for about 20-30 mins until thick and fragrant, stirring now and again, adding more tomato puree if needed. Taste for seasoning.
  6. Scoop out the potato interior, leaving a decent edge, and then mash with cream, butter and a pinch of salt.
  7. Place potato ‘shells’ on an oven tray, skin side down. Fill with the mince and top with mash and a generous amount of grated cheese. Cook in the oven until the top is golden and bubbling.
  8. Serve with a simple green salad or your favourite green vegies on the side.
