Instructions

1. Put a little oil in to the Ninja Foodi and set to Saute on a medium heat (4 will do nicely) and add the diced onion and give it a good stir until they have softened and just started to caramelise
   
   
   
   
2. Add the Minced Beef and continue to stir and chop up the mine with a wooden spatula in to small pieces
   
3. When the mince has browned, turn off the Saute mode and add in the carrots and beef  stock and give it a good stir
   
   
   
   
4. Put on the Pressure Cooker lid and Pressure Cook on Hi for 15 minutes
   
   
   
   
5. Once the pressure cooking has stopped, add in some frozen peas!
   
   
   
   
6. Give it a good stir and add a tiny bit of gravy browning and if you fancy it, add a dash of Winiary Przyprawa (which is a Polish alternative to Worcestershire Sauce).
7. Portion out in to some oven dishes ready to put on the mashed potatoes and bake!

Portions: 2

---

Ingredients

• 500g Minced Beef
• 1 Onion
• 2-3 Carrots
• Potatoes
• Peas
• Beef Stock (450ml)
• Oil
  
• Flour or Gravy Granules (for thickening)
• Secret Ingredient 1
• Secret Ingredient 2

---

Equipment

• Frying Pan
• Sauce Pan
• Chopping Board
• Knife
• Spatula

---

Instructions

1. Prepare the onion and carrots by chopping them up in to small cubes
   
   
   
   
2. Put a little oil in your frying pan and gently fry the onion until it is starting to soften
   
    
   
   
3. Add the minced beef to the frying pan and using a spatula 'chop' it in to small pieces
   
    
   
   
4. Fry the mince until it has browned and then add the Beef Stock
   
   
   
   
5. Give the pan a good stir and then add the carrots
   
   
   
   
6. Mix well and leave to simmer...
   
    
   
   
7. Now it's time to cook the potatoes so peel them, chop them up and add them to a saucepan
   
    
   
   
8. When the carrots have started to soften it's time to add the peas
   
    
   
   
9. Secret Ingredients Time: It's at this point the recipe stops being Scottish so if you want to be authentic then skip this step...
   
   
   
   The 2 'Secret Ingredients' I like to use in my Mince and Tatties are Sarsons Gravy Browning (just a tiny dash) and a generous splosh of Winiary Przyprawa (a Polish seasoning for soups and meat).
   
   The Przyprawa (which can be found in most good supermarkets like Tesco and Morrisons) is a flavour enhancer (just like Worcestershire Sauce is) and the Gravy Browning adds a nice depth of colour.
   
   
10. Thicken the mixture with either a little flour or I like to use Bisto Gravy Granules
    
     
    
    
11. Leave the pan to simmer and give it a stir every now and then
12. When the potatoes are cooked you are ready to serve!
