Hachis Parmentier avec Purée de Chou-fleur
Shepherd's Pie with Cauliflower Mash

Pour le Hachis Parmentier, je souhaite de la purée de chou-fleur à la place de la pomme de terre. Et confirmez qu'il n'y a pas de sucre ajouté dans la viande ni la purée.
For the Hachis Parmentier, please use cauliflower mash instead of potato. And confirm no added sugar in the meat or mash.
