Time 2h

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 medium onion, chopped (2 cups)
4 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch coins (1 1/4 cups)
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup frozen peas
3/4 cup packed chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound Savoy cabbage, thinly sliced (5 cups)
2/3 cup whole milk, warmed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for brushing

Steps:

  • Filling: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Swirl in oil. Add lamb; season with 1 teaspoon salt and cook, breaking up into bite-size pieces and stirring occasionally, until browned in places and just cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Remove all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet; return to medium heat. Add onion and carrots; season with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and golden in places, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in tomato paste; cook 30 seconds. Stir in flour; cook 1 minute. Return lamb and accumulated juices to skillet. Stir in Worcestershire, broth, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits from bottom of skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until thickened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in peas and parsley. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish.
  • Mash: In a large pot, cover potatoes with 1 inch of water; add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until tender, 12 to 15 minutes; drain. Return pot to medium heat; swirl in oil. Add cabbage and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until collapsed and tender, 7 to 9 minutes. Return potatoes to pot; mash with a potato masher. Add milk and butter, mashing and stirring until mixture is creamy and cabbage is distributed evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Spread mash evenly over lamb mixture; brush top with butter. Place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment.
  • Bake until golden brown in places and bubbling along edges, 30 to 35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Pie can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days.

I'm not a big fan of lamb, but I really enjoyed this shepherd's pie. The colcannon topping was so good that it made me forget all about the lamb.

I added some chopped carrots and peas to the lamb filling and it gave it a nice pop of color and flavor.
