- 1⁄4 tsp cinnamon, optional
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 300g onions, finely diced

Method
- Preheat the oven 180°C / Gas Mark 4.
- Place the sweet potatoes in a large pan of boiling water and simmer for 12 - 15 minutes or until tender, then drain. Return the sweet potato to the pan with butter, seasoning and cinnamon if using and mash.
- Meanwhile heat the oil in a pan, add the onion and diced carrot and fry gently for 5 minutes.
- Add the Quorn Mince and dry spices and cook gently for 2 - 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients, bring gently to the boil then simmer for 5 minutes.
- Divide the Quorn Mince mixture between 10 individual ovenproof dishes, top with the sweet potato mash and fluff up with a fork. Cook for 20 minutes or until the topping is golden and crisp.
Tip - try making the mash with parsnips and roasted cumin seeds as an alternative.
