Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons ghee
- 0.5 cup almond milk
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes, and mash them with ghee and almond milk. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the onions are translucent and vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, and cook for another minute.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks, for about 8-10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium, then stir in tomato paste, coconut aminos, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Add the beef broth, bring to a simmer, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Transfer the beef mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
Spread the mashed potatoes over the top of the beef layer, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden and heated through.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving the hot Hachis Parmentier.
