Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 220C / 200C / gas mark 7 / 425F.
- Peel and chop the potatoes and put them into a pan of salted boiling water for 15 minutes or until soft.
- Meanwhile, put the diced onion and chopped carrots into a large frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Fry gently for about 5 minutes until softened but not brown.
- Add the chopped lamb and continue to fry for a couple more minutes.
- Meanwhile make a simple lamb gravy by crumbling the stock cube into a jug and adding the plain flour. Mix to a smooth paste using a small amount of cold water and then add 500ml boiling water to the jug, stirring constantly.
- Pour the gravy into the pan and stir. Add a few twist of black pepper and bubble for about 5 minutes.
- While the gravy is bubbling, drain and mash the potatoes with the butter and milk plus a few twists of salt and pepper
- Pour the lamb mixture into the bottom of an oven dish and top with the buttery mash.
- Cook for 20 minutes until brown on the top.

Notes
- If you don’t have any leftover roast lamb you can make this with lamb mince. Add to the frying pan instead of the roast lamb but cook for 5-10 minutes until the lamb mince is brown, then continue with step 5.
