Nothing But Onions

Here's the evening meal from a few days ago. Not a traditional cottage pie, but a variant based on what was in the fridge and pantry. Vary the ingredients as you see fit.

Gently fry chopped onions and leeks in a little olive oil until soft. Add some diced carrot and fry a few more minutes. Add some diced beef and continue to stir fry until slightly browned. Add a tin of chopped tomatoes and a dash of worcestershire sauce. Simmer until cooked and the sauce reduced. Taste and season as needed.

Whilst cooking, peel and dice some potatoes, and steam until just cooked.

Pour meat mixture into bottom of casserole dish. Top with the potatoes. Sprinkle with a little Maldon sea salt. Bake in oven (180C) for half an hour or so - the potatoes should start to go golden and crisp.

Here, it is served with steamed green beans, fresh from the garden.
