Ingredients
- 500 g minced meat Lamb
- 1 onion Finely chopped
- 2 carrots Peeled, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic Minced
- 2 tbsp tomato puree
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp thyme Dried
- 500 ml beef stock
- 750 g potatoes Peeled, chopped into chunks
- 50 g butter Unsalted
- 50 ml milk
- salt To taste
- black pepper To taste
Instructions
- Begin by preheating the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6.
- Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add the minced lamb. Brown it for 5-6 minutes while using a wooden spoon to break up any large lumps.
- Once browned, add the chopped onion and carrots to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are softened.
- Next, add minced garlic, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme to the pan, and cook for 2-3 minutes until it becomes fragrant.
- After that, pour in beef stock and bring it to a simmer. Cook for 20-25 minutes until the mixture thickens, and the vegetables become tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- While the meat mixture is cooking, chop potatoes and boil them in a pot of salted water for 15-20 minutes until they become tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add unsalted butter and milk to the pot and mash the potatoes until they become smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the meat mixture to a large baking dish and spread the mashed potatoes on top.
- Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the mashed potatoes turn golden brown, and the filling becomes hot and bubbly.
- Finally, serve the Shepherd's Pie hot with your preferred vegetables.
