Method
- Preheat the oven to 220oC/Fan 200oC/Gas Mark 7 Have ready 4 ovenproof dishes with a 250ml capacity.
- Place the whole potatoes in a pan and cover with water. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 8 minutes or until the potatoes are just tender on the outside, when tested with fork. Drain and leave to cool.
- Heat half the oil in a large wok or frying pan, add the No-lamb pieces and cook over a medium heat until the are golden. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the remaining oil, add the onions, celery and carrots to the pan and sauté for 4 minutes until soft. Stir in the flour, and cook for 1 minute, stirring well.
- Add the stock to the pan and bring to the boil, stirring to make a smooth sauce. Stir in the No-Lamb, soy and mint sauce, then season with pepper. Remove from the heat.

- Divide the hotpot between 4 ovenproof dishes. Spoon a quarter of the potatoes on top of each, then shuffle them about a bit with a fork to form a neat layer on top of each. Stand the dishes on a baking tray then bake for 30-35 minutes until the potatoes are golden. Serve with tender cooked cabbage dressed with good olive oil and plenty of black pepper.
