2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 white onion, peeled, diced

1 celery stick, finely diced
12 button mushrooms, sliced
Salt and pepper
1 Tbsp plain flour
600g lamb mince

1 cup chicken stock
1 cup white wine
2 Tbsp gravy powder
½ bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves chopped
300ml thickened cream, heated
100g unsalted butter

2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large pan over a high heat, add vegetables, then stir-fry for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then stir-fry for a further 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour over top and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
3. Add mince, stirring well to break up any lumps, then cook, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, stock and wine, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes. Whisk in gravy powder and parsley. Transfer mixture to a large, ovenproof pan or dish.
4. Drain potatoes and mash well. Beat in cream and butter until smooth and season with salt and pepper. Evenly spoon potato over lamb mixture, then bake for 30 minutes. Sprinkle over cheese and bake for 15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
