Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.Wash and dry all produce. Add 10 1/2 cups water and 1 tbsp salt to a large pot. (NOTE: Use same for 4 ppl.) Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. While water comes to a boil, cut cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then garlic, mirepoix, peas and beef. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Stir in cornstarch, broth concentrate and 1/2 cup of water (dbl for 4 ppl). Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium. Cook until slightly thickened, 3-5 min.
While beef cooks, add cauliflower to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6-8 min. Reserve 1/3 cup cooking water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain and return cauliflower to the same pot, off heat.. Roughly mash reserved cooking water, sour cream and 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) into cauliflower until slightly creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer beef mixture to an 8x8-inch baking dish (9x13-inch for 4 ppl).Top with mashed cauliflower. Bake in the middle of the oven until cauliflower is golden brown on top, 18-20 min.
When cottage pie is almost done, combine vinegar and 1 tbsp oil in a large bowl. Add spring mix. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
Let cottage pie stand for 5 min. Divide cottage pie between plates. Serve salad on the side.
