Sheperd's pie

Boil the potatoes in plenty of salted water until they are soft (use a fork to pierce them and check they are ready); Drain them, mash them in a potato masher by dropping the pulp into a bowl, add butter, Parmesan cheese and milk, mix well, season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Heat the oil in a thick-bottomed saucepan, add the meat, and brown it over high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, separating and stirring with a wooden spoon, until well browned. Add the sauté vegetable mixture, season with a pinch of salt, and cook for another 7-9 minutes. Add garlic, spices, and cornstarch; mix well and add the Worcestershire sauce, tomato concentrate, herbs, and hot broth.

Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, turn on the oven to 210°. Remove the herbs and add the green peas. Stir and season with salt and pepper. Pour the mashed potatoes over the meat and level them with the back of a spoon. Bake the pie in the middle part of the oven for 15 minutes, and let it brown a few minutes under the grill until golden.

Remove the pie from the oven, garnish with Parmesan cheese flakes, and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
