Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7 and boil a kettle
Peel your potatoes and chop them into large, bite-sized pieces
Peel and finely dice your brown onion[s]
Top, tail, peel and chop your carrot[s] into batons
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Add the chopped potatoes to a pot with plenty of boiled water and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 12-15 min or until fork-tender
Once done, drain and return to the pot to steam dry
Reboil a kettle
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 min or until starting to soften
Meanwhile, dissolve your beef stock mix, Henderson's Relish, Marmite and tomato paste in 225ml [290ml] [380ml] boiled water – this is your stock
Once the onion has softened, add your lamb mince to the pan with a pinch of salt, increase the heat to high and cook for 3-4 min further or until beginning to brown, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go
Once browned, add the chopped garlic and cook for 1 min or until fragrant
Once fragrant, add the stock with a grind of pepper and cook for 5-6 min further, or until the sauce has thickened and the lamb is cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your lamb mixture
Whilst the lamb mixture is cooking, return the drained potatoes to a low heat with a knob of butter and a splash of milk
Mash until smooth
Add the carrot batons to a large piece of tin foil with a knob of butter, a grind of black pepper and a splash of water
Scrunch the foil around the carrots to form a tightly sealed parcel and add to a baking tray (or two!)
Tip: Cooking for 4 or more? Make 2 separate parcels!
Put the tray[s] in the oven for 15-20 min or until tender – these are your buttered carrots
Add the lamb mixture to an oven-proof dish and evenly top with the mashed potato
Tip: Gently run a fork over the mash to create a crispy top!
Put the dish in the oven for 15-20 min or until golden brown and bubbling – this is your shepherd's pie
Leave the shepherd's pie to stand for 5 min before serving (this helps the flavours to develop and makes it easier to serve!)
Serve the shepherd's pie with the buttered carrots to the side
Enjoy!
