This Shepherd’s pie recipe was one of the first things I learned to cook. The process of making the meat part of the dish is one of those transferable skills that means that you are close to being able to make stews, bolognese sauce, moussaka and many other dishes. This recipe is 100% halal with halal ingredients.

You'll need a saucepan.

 2 tbsp olive oil
 1 finely diced large onion

 1 tbsp tomato purée
 2 dashes worcestershire sauce
Mash Potato
 900 g peeled and diced potatoes
