: Make the Topping
Start by boiling some water, enough to cover the cauliflower. Once the water starts to boil add some salt. Add the cauliflower. Boiling should take roughly 8 to 10 minutes. Once the cauliflower is soft, drain out all the water. Allow the steam to escape to avoid a liquidy mash. While still warm, add the cooking cream, butter, salt, pepper and nutmeg powder. Mash the cauliflower until you get a fairly smooth mash or blend it a food processor if you have one.
: Make the Filling
Warm a small casserole pot or saucepan. Add the oil and let it warm up on a medium setting. Start to roast the ground beef. You will need to render down the meat, meaning the meat has to start going brown and a little crispy. Then add the mushrooms, onion and garlic. When they soften add the brown gravy. Mix the gravy well and scrap the bottom of the pot / saucepan. Then add the peeled tomatoes, thyme and sage. Add a splash of water if it starts to dry out. Check the seasoning. Let it cook for around 5 -10 minutes. Then transfer it into an oven proof dish.
: Bake the Pie, Plate and Serve
Carefully spread the cauliflower mash on top of the mince already in the oven proof dish. Then sprinkle the grated cheese over the mash and finally the parsley. Place it in the oven for around 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and has slightly browned. Take it out of the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
