Cooking Steps
1
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Peel and chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks.
- Place the potatoes in a pot. Cover with water, season with salt, bring to the boil and cook until fork tender, 12-18 mins.
- Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander (reserving some cooking water) and return to the pot, off the heat.
- Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk or cooking water. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
2
- Meanwhile, trim the carrot, then coarsely grate (no need to peel).
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Trim the green beans.
3
- Place a pan over medium-high heat (no oil).
- Fry the lamb and carrot until browned, 5-6 mins. Break it up as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 min.
- Stir in passata, thyme, stock, red wine jus, ½ tsp sugar (per 2P) and 50ml water (per 2P).
- Bring to the boil, then lower the heat to medium. Simmer until thickened, 4-5 mins.
4
- Pour the lamb into an ovenproof dish.
- Spread the mash over the top in an even layer, using the back of a spoon to smooth it out.
- Sprinkle over the cheese, then place on the top shelf of the oven.
- Cook until golden, 5-6 mins.
5
- While the pie cooks, wipe the (now empty) pan and pop on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the green beans and fry until starting to char, 2-3 mins.
- Add a splash of water, then immediately cover with a lid or some foil.
- Cook until tender, 4-5 mins.
- Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
6
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and leave to stand for a couple of mins.
- Share the shepherd's pie between your plates.
- Serve the green beans alongside.
