1 onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 sticks of celery, sliced
1 kg minced mutton
30 ml beef broth or stock
1 Tbsp flour combined with 1 tbsp of butter
150 g butter
salt and pepper to season
100 ml milk
1 large skillet
1 large saucepan
1 baking dish 15cm deep
1 bowl
1 spatula or spoon
1 strainer

Step 1: Sauté the onions

Put some oil in a skillet and sauté the onions. When they are soft and starting to brown, remove them from the skillet using a slotted spoon and set to one side.

Step 2: Prepare the carrots and celery

Sauté the carrots and celery until they start to brown.

Step 3: Pre-heat the oven

Set the temperature of the oven at 220ºC.

Heat the oil with 50 grams of butter and add the meat, stirring it until it browns.

Boil the potatoes in salted water until soft.

Step 10: Add the onions

Stir in the sautéed onions

Step 11: Prepare the dish for the oven

Transfer the meat into the baking dish. Spread it out to make an even layer. Spoon over the mashed potato and tease the surface with a fork to create some texture. To finish, brush on the last of the melted butter.

Place the dish in the oven and back for half an hour.

Answer 3

That is a beef (or lamb) stew that goes into a pie crust and is topped with mashed potatoes.

You can use you favorite stew recipe for a start with !" cubes of meat and vegetables cho[[ed to that size. While that is cooking buy or bake pie crusts in the size you want (tart size or full size). Also boil potatoes and mash them to smooth (or buy powdered mashed potatoes and prepare per box recipe).

Then assemble it by spooning the stew into the crust (including its liquid and meat and vegetables. Fill a piping bag with the potatoes and squeeze them through a fat fluted tip to cover the pie on top (if no piping bag then spread it like cake topping and scratch a pattern with a fork).

Heat in a hot oven until heated through and potato topping is golden crust.
