Irish Beef Potato Dinner
4 Yukon Gold potatoes (about 650 g/1 1/3 lb total)
3 parsnips (about 250 g/8 oz total)
Salt and pepper, to taste
375 g (12 oz) extra-lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
5 ml (1 tsp.) each dried thyme and Worcestershire sauce
500 ml (2 cups) thinly shredded cabbage
250 ml (1 cup) halved lengthwise and sliced carrots
50 ml (1/4 cup) tomato paste
15 ml (1 tbsp.) all-purpose flour
425 ml (1 3/4 cups) sodium-reduced chicken broth
125 ml (1/2 cup) frozen peas
50 ml (1/4 cup) warm milk
15 ml (1 tbsp.) butter
Peel potatoes and parsnips; cut into chunks. In a saucepan, cover potatoes and parsnips with cold water; bring to a boil over high heat. Season with salt. Reduce heat and boil gently for 15 minutes or until fork tender.
Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef, onion, thyme and Worcestershire sauce; cook, stirring and breaking up beef with a spoon, until beef is browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in cabbage and carrots.
Whisk tomato paste and flour into broth; stir into skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover partially and simmer for 8 minutes or until vegetables are just tender. Stir in peas and heat through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Drain potatoes and parsnips; return to saucepan. Add milk and butter; mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon large mound onto each plate; with back of a spoon, make a well in the centre and fill with beef mixture.
Makes 4 servings.
