Cooking Instructions:

BEFORE COOKING:

Preheat oven to 210°c (fan bake).
1. TO PREPARE THE CREAMY MASH TOPPING:

Place the steamed potatoes and pumpkin into a pot with the mustard cream and bring up to the boil over a high heat. Once boiling, lower the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid and cook for 4-5 mins checking regularly to check the cream isn't burning. Remove from the heat, add a knob of butter, season with salt and pepper and mash with a potato masher. Cover with a lid to keep warm.
2. TO COOK THE COTTAGE PIE BASE:

Cut the silverbeet leaves and stalks into ½ cm slices keeping separated. Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot add the beef mince and silverbeet stalks, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon and cook for 3-4 mins. Pour in the herby tomato ragu and silverbeet leaves. Bring up to a simmer and cook for 1-2 mins to heat through.
3. TO FINISH THE COTTAGE PIE:

Spoon beef mixture into an oven proof dish. Top with creamy mustard mash and sprinkle over cheesy crumb. Place into the oven and bake for 10-15 mins or until cheese is melted and golden. Allow to sit a few minutes before serving.
4. TO COOK THE GREEN BEANS:

Trim the ends off the green beans. Wipe out the frying pan and place back over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. Once hot, add the beans and cook for 2-3 mins. Place into a serving dish and season with salt and pepper.
TO SERVE:

Using a fish slice portion the beef cottage pie and then carefully lift onto each plate. Serve green beans on the side.
