Prep Time: 15min.     Total Time: 1 hr.      Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

• 1 Lucky Iron Fish
• 2 medium potatoes, quartered
• 1-2 medium carrots, diced
• 1/2 small onion, diced
• 1-2 celery stalks, diced
• 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 cup (225 g) ground beef
• 1 vegetable bouillon cube
• 1/4 cup green peas
• Tuscan spice mix (sage, rosemary, garlic powder)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400°F
• Add potatoes to a medium pot of cold water and bring to a boil
• Add 1⁄2 tsp. of salt. Reduce to medium heat and cook until tender, 10-15 minutes
• Drain the potatoes, reserving 1⁄2 cup of the cooking water in a small bowl
• Return the potatoes to the pot and cook over low heat for a minute to remove excess water
• Mash with a fork, or a potato masher, adding 1⁄4 cup cooking water along with 1.5 tablespoon butter and 1⁄4 cup yogurt. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Beat with a wooden spoon until fluffy
• Prepare the vegetables and beef by heating 1 tbsp. of oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-low
• Once hot, add the onion, carrot, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 15 minutes.
• Increase the heat to medium and add the ground beef. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring and breaking it up with a wooden spoon, stirring for even coloration
• While beef is cooking, mix the remaining 1⁄4 cup of cooking water with bouillon cube. Whisk until well mixed. Add Lucky Iron Fish. 
• Add the stock, green peas, Tuscan Spice Mix, and pepper
• Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5-10 minutes. Remove Lucky Iron Fish (wash & dry), and allow the meat to cool slightly
• Arrange pie by spreading the meat and vegetables evenly along the bottom of the oven-safe skillet
• Spread the mashed potatoes over the top
• Chop the remaining 1⁄2 tbsp butter into small pieces and scatter over the top
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned and heated all the way through, 30-35 minutes
• Allow to cool slightly before serving
