Tamale Pie

Preparation: 45 min

Finely dice the onion, peppers and celery. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the beef and diced vegetables, cooking until the beef is browned all over and the vegetables are tender. Season the meat and vegetable mix to taste and add one clove of minced garlic. Stir well to combine, cooking for a further minute to soften the garlic.

Add the tomatoes and spices and stir well. Bring the mixture to a simmer for 5 minutes.

Strain the cauliflower and add to a food processor. Add the remaining garlic, olive oil, cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.

Spoon the beef mixture into an oven proof dish and top with the cauliflower mash.

Preheat the oven to 400F/200C.

Scatter over 1/2 cup of the grated cheese and stir into the beef.

Whilst the beef is cooking, add the cauliflower to a pan and cover with boiling water. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the cauliflower has softened and is tender.

Transfer to the oven to bake for 25 minutes until bubbling and golden on top.
