Method
- Heat the oven to200°C/180°Cfan. Peel and cut the measured potatoes into even pieces. Boil for15–20 minutes until tender, drain and mash with a little reserved potato water; add milk or butter only if listed.
- Cut the meat into even strips or pieces no larger than 2 cm, using a separate board. Cook the lean pork loin in the measured oil for about 8–12 minutes, turning or stirring, until fully cooked; check 75°C for 30 seconds at the centre with a clean food thermometer. Allow longer if needed. Never reuse a raw-meat plate or utensils without washing them.
- Finely chop the carrots and other filling vegetables. Simmer them with the measured tomatoes, cooking sauce and100 ml water for10–15 minutes until tender; add peas near the end. Stir in the cooked protein. Keep any cold dressing separate for serving.
- Put the hot filling into an ovenproof dish and spread the mash over it. Add measured cheese if listed. Bake for15–20 minutes until the centre is bubbling and steaming hot. Rest2 minutes and serve; this is a mash-topped pie, not an unlisted pastry recipe.

Food safety and storage
- Check every bought ingredient label for allergens, use-by dates and cooking instructions. Recipe tags are not an allergy-suitability guarantee.
- Wash hands, utensils and surfaces. Wash produce unless labelled ready washed; keep raw meat and fish separate from ready-to-eat food.
- Cool in shallow portions and refrigerate within 2 hours at 0–5°C. Eat within 48 hours of original cooking or freeze promptly; any shorter ingredient deadline governs.
- Freeze cooled portions promptly in labelled suitable containers. Defrost completely in the fridge.
- Reheat once until steaming hot throughout. Stir and check the centre; eat immediately.
Author estimates, not physical cooking trials. Packet instructions and safe doneness govern; larger batches need longer.
