Filling

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and diced carrots, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Brown the meat

    Add the ground lamb and ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  3. 3

    Add peas and season

    Stir in the frozen peas, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Make the gravy

    Pour in the red wine and beef broth. Bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.

Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 5

    Boil the potatoes

    In a large pot, add the peeled and cubed potatoes. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.

  2. 6

    Mash the potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 7

    Assemble the pie

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a baking dish, spread the meat filling evenly. Top with the mashed potatoes, smoothing it out with a spatula.

  2. 8

    Bake

    Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

  3. 9

    Cool and serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Shepherd's Pie!
