Steps:
- Preheat your oven to gas mark 6.
- In a large saucepan birng some water to the boil and the salt and the potatoes simmer until tender about 15-20 minute.
- Whilst you potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a pan and gently fry the onions carrots celery and leeks together for about 5 minutes on a medium heat. Transfer into a large casserole dish. (The reason why I have separated out step 1 and 2 is because my frying pan isn't very big, so I do 2 batches of frying; however if you have a big enough pan you can combine these two steps).
- Next fry the quorn mince with the garlic herbs and one of the 0.5 teaspoon of the nutmeg, after about 2 min add one cup of the water and the stock cubes fry gently for about 5 minutes, transfer to the large casserole dish.
- Add to the casserole dish the 2 remaining cups of water, gravy granules and tomato paste; give a good stir and put dish in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Mash your potatoes with the milk and margarine, adding the remaining nutmeg until smooth and creamy. Spread the mash over the quorn mixture. Make lines with a fork if you wish and sprinkle over the cheese. Put back in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Take out and eat--yum yum.
