Shepherds Pie

[POLLIANNA]

Does any one have a recipe for shepherds pie. I've bought lamb mince but i've no idea what to do with it.

Dry fry the lamb with a chopped onion, bay leaf, sliced mushrooms and some diced carrots .Add a bit of flour and stir that in then add half a pint of stock and some tomato puree.Let it simmer and thicken for about half an hour . Remove the bay leaf. .Boil some floury spuds ,drain and mash with butter and a little milk and season well. Bung the meat mixture in a dish Spread the mash on top ..grate some cheese over it and shove it in the oven for about twenty minutes .

Some people use mint with lamb too... I believe the same applies to Sheperds Pie too.

You could make a moussaka with the lamb mince, too.
(proper ones don't have spuds in them, just aubergines & they're yummy!!)

I make Delia's version regularly ......the one with cheesy topped leeks and it's gorgeous. Easy enough, but also special enough for entertaining:
