LAMB SHEPHERD'S PIE

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 rib celery, finely chopped
1 yellow onion, finely diced 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound ground lamb
1 tablespoon dry mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1/2 cup canned tomato puree
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters, or 2 1/2 cups cooked mashed potatoes
1/2 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Combine the garlic, bay leaf, carrot, celery, onion and oil in a medium skillet and cook, covered, over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes. Push the vegetables to the perimeter of the pan and add the lamb. Increase the heat to high and cook, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon, until browned all over. Sprinkle with the mustard, 1 teaspoon of the salt and some pepper. Stir until fragrant, 1 minute, then add the tomato paste, fennel seeds and tomato puree and stir again. Cook for 1 minute more. Turn off the heat and stir in the mint and sage. Remove the bay leaf.
  • Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover by 2 inches with salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Cook until a knife releases easily from the potatoes when pierced in the center, 12 to 15 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water and drain the potatoes. In the same pot, combine the milk, butter, and 1/2 cup of the cooking water and stir together over high heat. Bring to a boil. Mash the potatoes with a masher, then slowly drizzle the hot liquid over the potatoes and stir until light and fluffy. Taste and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spoon the lamb mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch deep-dish pie plate, spreading it evenly over the bottom. Spoon the mashed potatoes over the top, covering completely. Use the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to create a swirled pattern in the potatoes. Bake until the topping turns golden in spots, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for good-quality ground lamb, sweet potatoes, and vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the lamb: Lamb is a delicate meat that can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes until they're tender: Roasting the sweet potatoes until they're tender will make them easier to mash and will also give them a slightly caramelized flavor.
  • Season the dish well: Don't be afraid to season the dish liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
  • Let the pie rest before serving: Once the pie is out of the oven, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.

Conclusion:

Shepherd's pie is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. This recipe for shepherd's pie with ground lamb and sweet potatoes is a delicious and hearty twist on the traditional dish. The sweet potatoes add a natural sweetness and creaminess to the pie, while the ground lamb provides a savory and flavorful base. With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that your family and friends will love.
