Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C.
  2. In one frying pan, heat clarified butter or oil until it reaches 365°F / 185°C. Brown the meat for 10-12 minutes.
  3. In another frying pan, heat clarified butter or oil to 365°F / 185°C. Add the onion and cook until golden brown, then add the mushrooms and cook until they have released all their water. Set aside.
  4. In the pan with the meat, add the thyme and rosemary, then the flour, and mix well. Add the wine and let it reduce for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add the carrots, garlic, tomato puree, chicken stock and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes.
  6. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, the reserved onion and mushrooms, and the peas. Cook for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Assemble the pie in a dish with the meat mixture, cheese and mashed potatoes, then bake in the oven for 45-60 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  8. If the top is not brown enough after 45 minutes, place under the broiler for a few minutes.
