Instructions

  1. Put the ground lamb into a pot and brown well over a medium / high heat. Stir well to break it up and to prevent it from sticking. No need to for oil.
  2. While the lamb is browning, peel and chop the onions.
  3. Peel and chop the carrots. Wash and chop the celery.
  4. When the meat has browned and even a little crispy (roasted) looking, add the onions, carrots and celery, mix well.
  5. After 5 minutes, pour in the beef stock and stir well.
  6. After 5 minutes, add at least half a bottle of Guinness. If you like Guinness add all of it. Cook over a medium heat until most of the liquid has evaporated and the lamb and vegetable are in a thicker sauce. This can take about 1 hour.
  7. While then lamb is cooking and reducing for an hour, peel and chop the potatoes into chunks.
  8. Place the potato pieces into salted (1 tsp salt) cold water, bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the potatoes are soft when pierced with a thin knife.
  9. Drain the potatoes when cooked. Return the potatoes to the heat and allow any residual water to evaporate. Pour in melted butter and cream, and using a hand held mixer, blend the potatoes and cream together.
  10. Put the cooked lamb in an ovenproof dish. Put the mashed potatoes into a piping bag with your nozzle of choice and pipe swirls of potatoes on top of the lamb. 
  11. When the entire dish is covered with potatoes and none of the lamb layer is showing, place the Shepherd's Pie in a pre heated 350 degrees F, oven for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown.
  12. Once the potatoes are golden brown, remove from the oven. Top with freshly chopped parsley (optional.) It's ready to serve.
