Instructions
- Heat half the ghee in a large pan, brown the mince and set aside.
- Add the remaining ghee to the pan and sauté the onion, celery, carrot, bay leaves, rosemary and thyme for 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and courgette and fry for a further minute.
- Return the mince to the pan and stir in the tomato puree and red wine and cook over a medium heat for a few minutes until the liquid has reduced.
- Add the broth and simmer with the lid on for about 30 minutes (or up to an hour).
- Stir through the parsley and season.
- Meanwhile make the mash by steaming the cauliflower until soft and mashing it up with the butter, garlic and milk if required.
- Pour the mince into an oven proof dish and spoon the mash over the top using a fork to smooth out.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes until golden.
- Finish with a sprinkle of chives or some fresh thyme leaves.
