A delicious one pot meal that can be served on it’s own or with seasonal vegetables. This is based on a classic Dutch oven dish.
This is one of the meals I didn’t think Jess was going to eat as she’s really not a fan of leeks. Surprisingly she actually liked it, we must finally be wearing her down.
- 450g Minced beef
- 1 Small onion, finely diced
- 1 Garlic clove, finely diced
- 400g Can tomatoes
- 25g Red lentils
- 1 tbsp dried mixed herbs
- 150ml Beef stock
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 800g Potatoes, peeled and evenly sliced
- 2 Large leeks, trimmed and sliced (around 150g if using frozen)
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 25g Cheddar cheese, grated
Method
- Cook the minced beef with the onion and garlic until slightly browned
- Add the tomatoes,herbs, lentils, stock and seasoning. Bring to boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes
- While the minced beef mixture is simmering boil the potatoes and leeks in lightly salted water for 5 minutes then drain
- Preheat oven to gas mark 4, 180 c
- Spoon half the mince mixture into an ovenproof dish then place half the sliced potatoes and leeks on top. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients
