Mint and pea shepherd’s pie with cheesy mash

Serves: 4

Total Time: 1 hour 20 mins

Ingredients

1kg lamb mince
30ml (2 tbsp) avocado oil
45ml (3 tbsp) butter
2 onions, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
handful fresh mint
300g frozen petit pois
MASH
6 large potatoes
100ml milk
180g butter
100g Parmesan, freshly grated

Instructions

Brown the mince in the oil, stirring to separate. Remove the mince from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, heat the butter and sauté the onions and garlic for a few seconds. Add the tomatoes, season and cook until the tomatoes are soft.

Return the mince to the pan, add the mint and stir well. Cook for a further 40 minutes.

Add the peas and warm through for 5 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200°C.

For the mash, boil the potatoes until soft and drain. Return to the pot and stir over low heat to dry any water. Mash with the milk and butter until soft and creamy.

Place the mince mixture in an ovenproof dish, top with the mash and Parmesan and bake for 20 minutes. Serve hot.
