- 30ml (2tbsp) plain flour

Crumble
- 150g (6oz) plain flour
- 75g (3oz) butter, cubed
- 50g (2oz) oats
- 50g (2oz) grated cheddar cheese
- Pre-heat your oven to Gas mark 5/190°C.
- Place the mince in a non-stick saucepan and dry fry for 5-6 minutes until browned.
- Add the onion and carrots and continue frying for 3 minutes.
- Add the flour and stir in well, then slowly add all the stock, tomato puree, herbs and black pepper. Bring to the boil and stir until thickened.
- Pour the mince mixture into an ovenproof dish (dish that can go into the oven).
- Make the crumble by putting the flour in a bowl, add the butter and rub in the flour. It should look like breadcrumbs.
- Then add the cheese and oats, mix well and spoon the crumble over the mince mixture.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven for 25 mins until it’s a golden colour and crispy. This is lovely served with cooked peas or broccoli.
Most people think of a crumble as being sweet such as apple or rhubarb crumble.
The base of this is like a Shepherds pie but instead of a mashed potato topping we’ve added a crispy, cheese and oaty crumble.
