Servings: persons

2 tbsp oil
1000 grams pork mince (turkey mince is nice too)
6 large sweet potatoes, cut into even pieces
1 large onion, finely diced
500 ml vegetable stock for turkey mince, ham stock for pork mince
60 grams garden peas
2 large diced carrot
1 1/2 tsp oregano
2 tbsp tomato puree
1 tbsp cornflour / cornstarch

1
In a pan, brown the mince in the oil then drain
2
To the mince add the onions and fry until almost done, then add the stock, peas, carrots and oregano.
3
Let simmer on a low heat.
4
The longer you leave it the more tender the mince will be.
5
I leave mine a good few hours before starting the potatoes
6
In another pan, boil the sweet potatoes in enough water to cover them for around 15 minutes
7
When the sweet potatoes are soft, drain them, mash and season with salt and pepper to taste
8
When the carrots have cooked through, stir in the tomato puree and flour to thicken the gravy
9
Now there are two options.
10
You can layer the mince on the bottom of a casserole dish, top with the mash, and bake for 15 minutes at gas mark 6 / 200C / 400F to crisp the top of the potatoes, or you can just serve with the potatoes spooned on top or on the side.

My kids like theirs baked in individual ramekins, they think it's special that way!
