Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and beef stock and reduce the temperature to medium/low, Induction level 4 and simmer, stirring occasionally for 10-15 minutes.
  • While the mince is simmering, place the potatoes and salt into a large saucepan and cover with water. Boil the potatoes until tender, then drain and mash with the butter. Stir in the grated cheese.
  • Preheat the oven on CircoTherm® to 180°C and place the wire rack on shelf position 2. Stir the parsley into the meat mixture and transfer to a lightly greased ovenproof dish, approximately 23cm square. Carefully spoon the mashed potato on top. Cook for 25-30 minutes or until the potato topping is lightly golden.
