SHEPHERD’S PIE WITH WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE
A classic for a reason! This is a great Sunday meal for the whole family.
Method
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add onion, carrot and celery and cook for 5 mins, or until soft.
Add lamb mince and cook for 5 mins, stirring to break up any lumps, until lamb starts to colour.
Add flour and cook, stirring, for 2 mins, or until combined.
Add stock, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and cook for 30 mins, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens.
Season to taste.
Meanwhile, cook potato in a large saucepan filled with salted boiling water for 15 mins or
until tender.
Drain well, leave in the pan and add butter.
Use a potato masher or fork to mash until smooth.
Add milk and use a wooden spoon to stir until combined.
Pre-heat oven to 200°C.
Spoon mince into a 2-litre capacity ovenproof baking dish.
Top with mashed potato and use a fork to spread it over lamb mixture. Brush with butter.
Bake the pie for 25-30 mins, or until mashed potato is golden brown.
Serve pie immediately, straight from the dish, while it is still hot.
