Ingredients

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1 onion, diced

2 carrots, sliced

2 stalks celery, sliced

1 lb. lean ground beef or turkey

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 Tbsp. tomato paste

4 oz. sliced mushrooms

1 Tbsp. flour

1 cup beef broth

1/2 cup red wine

allspice

1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 bay leaf

1 Tbsp. dried parsley

salt and pepper

1/3 cup peas

1 batch mashed potatoes

Directions

In a large saute pan (or a dutch oven), heat the olive oil. Add the onions, carrots and celery and cook them for about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30-40 seconds. Add the meat and brown.

Stir in the tomato paste, cinnamon, parsley, allspice, bay leaf and mushrooms, and cook the paste off for about a minute or two. Add the flour and do the same. Stir in the beef broth and wine, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for about 20 minutes or so to combine the flavors.

Stir in the peas and then pour the meat mixture into a baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes (run a fork over them for a prettier design). Bake for about 25-30 minutes in a 375 degree oven or until potatoes brown. Alternatively (or in addition to, which is what I did), stick the dish under the broiler for a minute or two to brown the potato crust.
