Method

1. Heat the oven to 360F.
2. Bring a pan of water to the boil and cook the potatoes until soft. Drain, mash with the vegan butter, and season with black pepper. Set aside.
3. Meanwhile, in a large pan, sauté the onion in the olive oil gently until it softens. Add the garlic and mushrooms, and cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring to ensure the garlic does not burn.
4. Add the pepper, carrots, beans, and herbs. Stir well.
5. Add a glug of wine (if using) and the broth. Bring to the boil and let it simmer uncovered for 8 minutes or until the carrots have softened.
6. In a small dish, mix the corn starch with 2 tbsp. cold water, then stir it into the liquid to thicken it. Add the tomato paste.
7. Remove from the heat and pour into a baking dish. Cover with the mashed potato and place in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the top is starting to brown
