Trin for trin

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

   Ca. 5 min.

2. 2

   Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until very tender, about 10-15 minutes.

   Ca. 15 min.

   Kokkens note: Ensure the cauliflower is very soft for a smooth mash.

3. 3

   Drain the cooked cauliflower thoroughly, then transfer it to a large bowl or food processor.

   Ca. 1 min.

   Kokkens note: Removing excess water is key to a non-watery mash.

4. 4

   Add the ghee, coconut milk, salt, and black pepper to the cauliflower.

5. 5

   Mash or process until completely smooth and creamy, then set aside.

   Ca. 3 min.

   Kokkens note: A food processor will yield a smoother result than a hand masher.

6. 6

   Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

   Ca. 1 min.

7. 7

   Add the yellow onion, carrot, and celery stalk to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

   Ca. 7 min.

8. 8

   Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

   Ca. 1 min.

   Kokkens note: Be careful not to burn the garlic.

9. 9

   Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes.

   Ca. 10 min.

10. 10

    Drain any excess fat from the ground beef mixture.

    Ca. 1 min.

11. 11

    Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, dried thyme, dried rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

    Ca. 1 min.

12. 12

    Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

    Ca. 7 min.

13. 13

    Stir in the frozen peas and cook for 1-2 minutes until just heated through.

    Ca. 2 min.

14. 14

    Spread the beef filling evenly in the bottom of the oven-safe skillet or transfer to a 9x13 inch baking dish.

    Ca. 1 min.

15. 15

    Carefully spoon the mashed cauliflower topping over the beef mixture, spreading it out to cover completely.

    Ca. 2 min.

    Kokkens note: You can create decorative swirls with a fork if desired.

16. 16

    Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is lightly golden and the filling is bubbly.

    Ca. 25 min.

    Kokkens note: For extra browning, you can briefly broil the top for the last minute or two, watching carefully to prevent burning.

17. 17

    Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

    Ca. 3 min.

    Kokkens note: This allows the filling to set slightly.
