Ingredients

500g game meat (such as venison, rabbit, or pheasant), diced
1 onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp tomato paste
250ml beef or game stock
1 sprig of fresh thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
800g potatoes, peeled and cubed
50g butter
100ml milk
50g grated cheese (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the game meat to the pan and brown on all sides.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the stock and add the thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in a large pot of salted boiling water until tender. Drain and return to the pot.
Add the butter and milk to the pot with the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the meat mixture to a baking dish. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly on top. If desired, sprinkle grated cheese over the potatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and the pie is bubbling.
Serve hot and enjoy!
