Italian Cottage Pie

Italian Cottage Pie

OK we can’t afford an Italian Cottage. But we can afford to make good food for buxxer all…..

So think Cottage Pie crossed with Bolognaise sauce. We had a 500g pack of minced Beef a while ago and made far too much Pasta Bolognaise for the two (three including Tigger the Cat) to eat. So, as is the no waste gig here, it was boxed up and consigned to the freezer.

A bit of mashed spud, grated Cheese, some frozen peas and Cheesy Leeks. Sorted!

This time last year we had boxes and boxes of Bananas to get rid of. A couple of days ago we found ourselves with a glut of Cauliflower. So what do you do with two heads of Cauliflower?

Ingredients:-

For the marinade:-

Cauliflower, cut into thick slices
Soy Sauce
Olive Oil
Honey
White Rice Vinegar
Crushed Garlic
Paprika
Chilli Flakes

For the Topping:-

Bacon
Cheese of your choice (We had some Yellow Sticker Blue Cheese and Mature Cheddar)
Grated Italian Style Cheese
Spring Onions

Method:-

(1) Mix the marinade ingredients.
(2) Preheat the oven to 180c.
(3) In a baking tray add the Cauliflower and pour over the marinade, holding a little back.
(4) Cook for 10 Minutes.
(5) Remove from the oven and add the Bacon over each slice.
(6) Cook for another 10 minutes, or until the Bacon is cooked to your liking. Pouring the reserved marinade over as you go.
(7) Remove and add your Cheese.
(8) Return to the oven until the Cheese has melted.

Serve with a scattering of Spring Onions, pan juices. Perhaps some Red Cabbage to add colour?
