Shepherd's Pie

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground Lamb
• 1 onion + 2 carrots, diced
• 1 cup peas
• 2 tbsp tomato paste + 1 tbsp worcestershire
• 1 cup stock + 1 sprig thyme
• 2 lb potatoes, mashed with butter
• ½ cup grated cheddar

Method

1. Brown the Lamb with the onion and carrot, then stir in the tomato paste and worcestershire and cook 2 minutes.
2. Add stock and thyme and simmer until saucy but not soupy; fold in the peas. Season boldly.
3. Spread into a dish, top with the buttery mash, and rough up the surface with a fork so it crisps.
4. Scatter cheddar and bake at 400°F for 25 minutes until golden and bubbling at the edges.
