Filling: In a fry pan on medium heat add a splash of olive oil (not necessary if you have a non-stick pan) along with onions and garlic, sauté for a few minutes. Then crush the OXO cube and add in the mince. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mince browns. Add in all other filling ingredients and mix until well combined. Turn heat down to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

Mash: Cut up cauliflower into chunks and steam for around 10 minutes until tender. Transfer into food processor along with parmesan cheese, dill, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Process until ingredients are smooth.

Once your crusts are cooked start filling each one with the mince mixture and top with the cauliflower mash and enjoy. * You will need 4 tart tins or feel free to make the pie in a quiche dish.
