(Contains: Milk; )
¼ tsp

Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Peel and cut the potato into 2cm chunks. Add the potato to the boiling water and cook until easily pierced with a knife, 10-15 minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan. Add the butter, milk and the salt, then mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth.
While the potato is cooking, finely chop the brown onion. Finely chop the carrot (unpeeled), or grate if you prefer. Pick and finely chop 1/2 the rosemary leaves. Pick the thyme leaves. Finely chop the garlic. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves. TIP: We've only used 1/2 a bunch of rosemary here as it can be quite an overpowering flavour. Use more or less depending on taste.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook, stirring, until softened, 6-7 minutes. Add the rosemary, thyme and 2/3 of the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the beef mince and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the tomato paste, the water and beef-style stock powder. Stir well to combine. Add the baby spinach and stir through until just wilted, 1-2 minutes. TIP: Add a dash of water if the mince looks dry!
Preheat the grill to medium-high. Transfer the mince mixture to a medium baking dish and spread the mashed potato over the top, smoothing out with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle over the shredded Cheddar cheese and grill until the cheese is melted and golden, 5-10 minutes.
While the pie is grilling, trim the broccolini and halve lengthways. Wash and dry the frying pan, then return to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the broccolini and cook, tossing, until tender, 5-6 minutes. Add the remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide the beef and rosemary pie and garlic greens between plates.
