Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- In a large pot, add potatoes then cover in cold salted water. Bring to the boil then simmer until just past tender. Drain and pass through a potato ricer or mash with a potato masher.
- In a small bowl, add hot cream and butter and mix until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
- In a large frying pan, heat oil over moderate heat. Add onion, celery and garlic and cook, stirring regularly, until onion is soft and translucent.
- Add lamb mince to pan and cook until brown. Stir constantly to break the meat up and skim occasionally to remove fat.
- Stir through carrot, tomato paste and Italian seasoning. Add wine and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in stock concentrate mixed with hot water and heat until bubbling.
- Transfer to a casserole dish then spread warm mashed potato evenly over lamb mixture. Top with cheese then bake in oven for 30 minutes until golden. Serve with your favourite vegetable side.
