• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. Peel potato and cut into large chunks. • Cook potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. • Add the plant-based butter and the plant-based milk to potato and season generously with salt. Mash until smooth. TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled.
• Meanwhile, preheat grill to high. • Slice carrot into thin half-moons. • Thinly slice celery. • Thinly slice chives.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook carrot and celery, stirring, until just tender, 3-4 minutes. • Add plant-based mince and cook, breaking up mince with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes.
• Add tomato paste, garlic paste and Nan's special seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in the water and vegetable stock powder, until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. • Stir through baby spinach leaves, until wilted. Season to taste.
• Transfer filling to a baking dish and evenly spread mashed potato over the top with a drizzle of olive oil. • Grill until lightly golden, 8-10 minutes. TIP: Drizzling with olive oil helps the topping to crisp and brown!
• Divide plant-based mince and veggie pie between plates. • Top with chives to serve. Enjoy!
