- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes
- 900g maris piper potatoes
- knob of butter
- splash of milk
- 100g Cheddar (optional)
- 1 Pouch Organic Grass-Fed Lamb Bone Broth
- 1 tsp Organic Grass-Fed Lamb Fat
Instructions
- Finely chop the onions, carrots and celery
- In a large frying pan on a medium heat, add the lamb fat and cook until completely melted and slightly sizzling
- Add the chopped veg to the pan and cook slowly on a low heat until the veg has softened. Add in the garlic and cook for a further two minutes
- Add in the tomato paste, making sure it's well combined with the veg
- Then add the lamb mince and cook until it's browned
- Add in the tin of chopped tomatoes, lamb bone broth, bay leaves and season well. Cook on a medium heat until bubbling and then turn the heat down to simmer and cook slowly for 45 minutes
- While the mince is cooking, prep your mashed potatoes by peeling your potatoes, cutting them in half and boiling them in salted water until easily broken with a fork
- Remove the potatoes from the pan and add them to a bowl, letting them cool slightly before mashing them
- Add in the butter and milk to the bowl as well as some salt and pepper, then mash the potatoes until creamy and lump free
- Once the mince is done cooking, remove the bay leaves and spread the mince evenly in an ovenproof dish
- Add the mashed potato on top and make sure it covers the dish evenly. If you fancy it, you can add some grated cheddar to the top of the mashed potato to give the pie a delicious crunch topping
- Place in the oven for 45 minutes to an hour. It's ready when the mashed potato has slightly browned on top and the mince is bubbling
- Leave for 15 minutes to cool down before serving
