| 1. Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion and garlic and simmer for 5 minutes, or until translucent. | 2. Add the minced beef, breaking up any chunks, and cook until well browned. | 3. Add tomatoes, breaking up into smaller pieces, tomato puree, stock cube, herbs and spices and simmer for 15 minutes. | 4. Add the Armagnac (you can flame it if you wish, but this isn't necessary as the alcohol will boil off anyhow) and the red wine. | 5. Simmer for a further 10 minutes, taste and adjust seasoning. | 6. Meanwhile, cut potatoes into approx 1.5inch cubes and place in a pan of salted cold water. Place the pan, covered, over a high heat until it starts to boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. | 7. Once potatoes are tender, drain and cover with a teatowel for several minutes. | 8. Add the butter to the potatoes (NO MILK!) and use an electric whisk to mash them. Try to leave a bit of body for texture, rather than making them completely smooth. Taste and add salt and pepper if required. | 9. Place the cooked meat in an ovenproof dish and cover completely with the potato. Sprinkle the leeks over the potato and cover with the cheese. | 10. Finally, lay the strips of serrano over the top and place in a preheated oven (200C) for about 25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden, and the serrano has gone crispy. | 11. Serve with warm country bread. Yummy. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
