Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1kg swede, peeled and roughly chopped
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- low calorie cooking spray
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 celery sticks, finely chopped

- 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 1 tbsp vegetable stock
- 1 tsp sweetener
- 2 tsp dried oregano

Method
- Cook the swede in a saucepan of lightly salted boiling water for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain, return to the pan and mash until smooth. Season to taste and set aside.
- Spray a large non-stick frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a high heat. Add the onion, garlic, celery and carrots and stir-fry for 5 minutes. Add the mince and stir-fry for 5 minutes, then add the tomatoes, stock, sweetener and oregano and stir well. Bring to the boil and remove from the heat.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400f/Gas 6. Transfer the beef mixture to a casserole dish and spread the mashed swede over the top, smoothing the surface with a fork. Brush with the beaten egg and bake for 25-30 minutes or until lightly golden and bubbling. Serve hot with vegetables.
