This casserole is the ultimate comfort food! The addition of cranberries and parsnips gives the ground potato a tangy, sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with the creamy mashed potatoes. A dish that will definitely be a hit on the Christmas table!

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 200°C (top and bottom heat). Peel the potatoes and cut them into equal-sized pieces. Heat a pan of water with a little sea salt and boil the potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let them steam off completely.

Peel and finely chop the shallot and garlic. Roughly chop the shiitake mushrooms. Peel the parsnips and dice them into 1 cm cubes or smaller. Prepare the Knead & Ready Minced Beans Classic Spiced according to the package directions.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the shiitake mushrooms and parsnips and cook for 5 minutes. Add the Knead & Ready Minced Meat Classic Spiced with the tomato paste. Add the spicy paprika, bay leaf, cranberries, peas, and vegetable stock. Simmer gently until most of the liquid has evaporated.

Meanwhile, heat the milk in a saucepan, but do not let it boil. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Pour the warm milk over the potatoes and whisk in the unsalted butter. Continue stirring until the butter has melted and is well incorporated. Season with black pepper and sea salt.

Divide the ground meat mixture into a large baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes. Use the tines of a fork to create a neat pattern. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Slice the chives thinly. Remove the Shepherd's Pie from the oven and garnish with the chives.
