Shepherd's Pie

Recipe supplied by The Goring Hotel, London.

Ingredients
500 grammes Lean Lamb Mince
1 Medium White Onion - finely chopped
50 grammes Peas
50 grammes Diced Cooked Carrots - same size as peas
2 Large Maris Pipers
½ Litre Lamb Sauce
1 Dessert Spoon Tomato Puree
Worcestershire Sauce

Method
Sweat the chopped onion in a little vegetable oil until soft, but with no colour, add the lamb mince and keep it moving until all the mince has browned.

Stir in the tomato puree and simmer for a further 5 minutes then turn out into a colander to drain off the excess fat.

Put the mince into a fresh pan, add the lamb sauce and simmer for approximately 50 minutes, or until the mince is tender.

Finish with salt, pepper and a splash of Worcestershire sauce to taste.

Cook the Maris Pipers, drain and puree, finish with a little double cream and 2/3 egg yolks, salt and pepper.

Add the cooked diced carrot and pea's to the lamb mince, put into an ovenproof or earthenware dish, cover with the mashed potato and bake in a medium oven for 20/30 minutes, or until the potato has glazed.
