Ingredients
  

For the Filling:
  • 1 pound Ground Lamb or Beef
  • 2 tablespoons British Blend Olive Oil
  • 1 large Onion finely diced
  • 2 medium Carrots diced
  • 1 cup Frozen Peas
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 cup Beef or Chicken Stock
  • 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme dried or 2 sprigs fresh
For the Mashed Potato Topping:
  • 2 pounds Russet Potatoes peeled and diced
  • 3 tablespoons British Blend Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Milk or Cream warmed
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • Cheddar Cheese optional: 1/2 cup, shredded

Method
 

Cook the Potatoes (15 minutes):
  1. Boil the diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water for 10-15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and return to the pot. Add 3 tablespoons of British Blend Olive Oil, warm milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth. Stir in cheddar cheese if using. Set aside.
Prepare the Filling (15 minutes):
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of British Blend Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and garlic, sautéing until softened.
  2. Add the ground lamb or beef, cooking until browned. Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to combine. Slowly add the beef stock, stirring until the mixture thickens. Stir in the peas and simmer for 5 minutes.
Assemble the Shepherd's Pie (5 minutes):
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Transfer the meat filling to a baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Spoon the mashed potatoes over the filling, spreading it to cover completely. Use a fork to create decorative ridges on the surface for crispness.
Bake (25 minutes):
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Serve:
  1. Let cool slightly before serving. Pair with a simple green salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
