Cooking Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C
Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes until soft.
Heat the olive oil in a pan, add the onion and cook for 10 minutes until soft. Stir in the meat-free mince and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Crumble the stock cube into a measuring jug and add 200ml of boiling water, stir to dissolve.
Add the tin tomatoes, vegetable stock and carrot and swede to the mince, bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon into a large rectangular ovenproof dish.
Drain the potatoes then mash with a potato masher, add the vegetable spread and beat until creamy with a wooden spoon. Spread on top of the mince in an even layer and fluff up lightly with a spoon. Bake in the oven for around 40 minutes until bubbling and golden.
Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 5 minutes before serving with peas.
