Cooking Steps
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan for the potatoes.
- Thoroughly wash the potatoes and slice into rounds of 0.5cm thickness.
- Boil the potatoes for 8 - 10 minutes, covered, then drain and set aside.
- In the meantime, chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic.
- Melt a knob of butter in a wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the onion and the garlic for 2 minutes.
- Add the mince and crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amount). Fry for 3 minutes, separating the mince as you do so.
- Slice the leek into thin half-rings.
- Add the leek to the pan and fry for 2 more minutes.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and half of the Italian seasoning, then bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes over medium-low heat (see Tip).
- Add the balsamic vinegar, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
Tip: the filling doesn't need to be done yet, as it will finish cooking in the oven.
- Transfer the filling to an oven dish and top with the potato slices, making sure they overlap.
- Scatter over the cheese and the rest of the Italian seasoning, then bake in the oven for 8 - 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 2 - 3 minutes before serving.
