Vibrant veggie-packed shepherd's pie that will impress everyone.
Ingredients:
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
  • 1 large brown onion, finely chopped
  • 2 celery sticks, trimmed, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 500g lean lamb mince
  • 44.40 gm tomato paste
  • 400g can diced tomatoes
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) chicken stock or vegetable stock
  • 2 zucchini, finely chopped
  • 500g purple sweet potato, peeled, chopped
  • 300g large purple carrots, peeled, chopped
  • 30g butter
  • 70g vintage cheddar, coarsely grated
Instructions:
  • In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm oil. Add onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Then add mince and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon, until browned.
  • Combine tomato paste, fresh tomato, and stock in the pot and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes until the liquid has thickened. Add zucchini and continue simmering for 10 minutes. Stir in fresh parsley before serving.
  • Preheat the oven to 210C/190C fan forced. Boil sweet potato and carrot in salted water until soft, about 15-20 minutes. Drain, then blend with butter until smooth. Stir in half of the cheddar.
  • Spread the mince mixture evenly in a 2L (8 cup) ovenproof baking dish. Top with the sweet potato and carrot mash, ensuring it covers the filling completely. Sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese. Bake on a baking tray for 25 minutes until the cheese is melted and the filling is bubbling. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
