225g potatoes, chopped
225g onions, chopped

115g celery, chopped
garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tbsp mixed herbs
1 tsp mustard powder
1 tsp honey
a good slug of cider
salt and pepper, to taste
yoghurt to serve

Method:

Cube the meat then put to simmer in a pan along with about 3.5l of water. Cook for about an hour then remove the meat from the stock and reserve. Add the remaining ingredients to the pan (with the exception of the cider) and bring the mixture to a boil. continue boiling until the ingredients are tender (about 25 minutes).

Pour about 3/4 of the mixture into a food processor and purée until smooth. Return to the pan then cut off any fat from the meat and add this to the pan as well, along with a generous slug of cider. Bring the mixture back to a boil then adjust the seasonings and serve immediately in bowls with a spoon of yoghurt on top.
