Ingredients
To make this dish, you will need:
- 500g minced lamb
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 500ml beef stock
- 1kg sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 50g butter
- 50ml milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the filling
In a large saucepan, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced lamb and cook until browned, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon. Remove the lamb from the pan and set aside.
Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic to the same pan and cook until softened. Add the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary, and cook for another minute.
Return the lamb to the pan and add the beef stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced and thickened.
Step 2: Prepare the sweet potato mash
While the filling is simmering, place the sweet potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and milk, and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Assemble the pie
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Transfer the filling to a large ovenproof dish and spread the sweet potato mash over the top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the mash is golden and crispy.
