Ingredients
·
1 tbs vegetable oil
·
1 onion
·
2 medium carrots
·
1 tsp dried thyme
·
500 g lamb mince
·
1 lamb stock cube*
·
1 tbs Worcesertshire sauce
·
100 g frozen peas
·
salt & pepper to taste
·
For the sweet potato mash:
·
500 g potato
·
400 g sweet potato
·
Splash of milk**
·
2 tbs butter**
Instructions
1.
Chop the onions and peel and chop the carrots. In a large
pan, heat the oil, then gently cook the onion, carrots and thyme for a few
minutes until softened.
2.
Once the vegetables are soft, add the lamb to the pan and
brown all over, stirring as you go. If you'd like to make this recipe as
healthy as possible, drain some of the fat off at this point before continuing
with the recipe instructions. Make up 500ml of stock and add to
the pan with the Worcestershire sauce.
3.
Bring to a simmer, then cover the pan and cook for 20
minutes. After 20 minutes remove the lid, add the peas to the pan and cook for
a further 20 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed. Season to taste
with salt and plenty of black pepper.
4.
Whilst the meat is cooking, preheat the oven to 180°C
(gas mark 4/350°F). Prepare the mash: peel and chop the potato and
sweet potato and cook in boiling water for 15 minutes or until soft. Drain the
potatoes well, then return to the pan and mash with the butter and milk.
5.
To assemble the shepherds pie, spoon the mince mixture
into an ovenproof dish then top with the mash and spread out to cover evenly.
Make a ridged pattern with a fork and pop in the oven to bake for 20-25
minutes, until piping hot with bubbling mince.
