This mince dish is a nod to English cottage pie, but in a lighter version. Beneath a fluffy layer of creamy cauliflower puree lies a savoury base of lean mince, lentils and vegetables. Sprinkled with a little cheese, the dish comes out of the oven golden and fragrant, ready to treat the whole family.

In Phase 2 pulses can carefully return, and this protein-rich dish makes clever use of this. The lean beef mince and lentils together deliver a nice helping of protein and the lentils bring a modest amount of good carbohydrates and fibre for extra satisfaction. The cauliflower puree replaces the potatoes and keeps the whole thing light. A dish that fits perfectly with this phase of your protein diet.

Lovely with a handful of steamed green vegetables like broccoli or green beans, or a fresh salad alongside. A splash of Worcestershire sauce through the mince gives just that extra bit of depth.

Zo maak je het

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and cook the cauliflower until tender.
  2. Fry the onion, carrot and mince until browned and stir in the tomato puree, tinned tomatoes and lentils.
  3. Let the mixture simmer gently for 10 minutes and season to taste.
  4. Blend the cauliflower with milk, salt and pepper until a smooth puree.
  5. Spoon the meat mixture into a baking dish and top with the cauliflower puree.
  6. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 20 minutes until golden.

Bewaren

Store the dish covered in the fridge and eat within three days. Reheating is best done in the oven, so the puree layer becomes a bit crispy again.

Variatietips

Use brown beans instead of lentils, or mix grated carrot through the mince. For a richer puree you can replace some of the cauliflower with celeriac.
