Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently.
- Add the lamb mince to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
- Stir in the tomato puree and canned tomatoes. Mix well to combine.
- Pour in the chicken gravy and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the chopped zucchini and cook until it softens, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the fresh parsley. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
3. Prepare the Purple Mash:
- While the lamb mixture is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the sweet potatoes and carrots to the boiling water. Boil until both are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the sweet potatoes and carrots, then return them to the pot.
- Add the butter to the pot and mash the vegetables until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread the lamb mixture evenly in a baking dish.
- Spoon the purple mash (sweet potatoes and carrots mixture) over the lamb mixture, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the top of the mash.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Scoop the shepherd’s pie onto plates and enjoy your cozy, comforting meal.
Tips:
- For a smoother consistency in your mashed sweet potatoes, make sure they are fully cooked before mashing.
- To add an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the lamb mixture.
- If you prefer, you can substitute lamb mince with beef or a plant-based meat alternative.
- To save time, you can prep the vegetables ahead of time and store them in the fridge until ready to use.
- For a crispy top layer, place the assembled Shepherd's Pie under the broiler for a few minutes before serving.
This Shepherd's Pie with Purple Mash recipe combines vibrant vegetables and delicious lamb mince to create a comforting and satisfying meal that's perfect for any occasion. Enjoy this colorful and nutritious twist on a classic comfort food with family and friends.
