• Whilst you potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a pan and gently fry the onions carrots celery and leeks together for about 5 minutes on a medium heat. Transfer into a large casserole dish. (The reason why I have separated out step 1 and 2 is because my frying pan isn't very big, so I do 2 batches of frying; however if you have a big enough pan you can combine these two steps).
• Next fry the quorn mince with the garlic herbs and one of the 0.5 teaspoon of the nutmeg, after about 2 min add one cup of the water and the stock cubes fry gently for about 5 minutes, transfer to the large casserole dish.
• Add to the casserole dish the 2 remaining cups of water, gravy granules and tomato paste; give a good stir and put dish in the oven for 15 minutes.
