Shepherd’s Pie With Buttered Carrots 👇
Intense beef stock mix (5.5g)
Tomato paste (32g)
Garlic clove x2
Brown onion
Lamb mince (250g)
Henderson’s Relish (15ml)
Carrot x2
Marmite (8g)
White potato x4
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7 and boil a kettle. Peel your potatoes and chop them into large, bite-sized pieces. Peel and finely dice your brown onion. Top, tail, peel and chop your carrots into batons. Peel and finely chop your garlic
2. Add the chopped potatoes to a pot with plenty of boiled water and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil over a high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook until fork-tender. Once done, drain and return to the pot to steam dry. Reboil a kettle
3. Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 min. Meanwhile, dissolve your beef stock mix, Henderson’s Relish, Marmite and tomato paste in 225ml boiled water – this is your stock
4. Once the onion has softened, add your mince to the pan with a pinch of salt, increase the heat to high and cook for 3-4 min, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go. Once browned, add the chopped garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the stock with a grind of pepper and cook for 5-6 min further, or until the sauce has thickened and the mince is cooked through – this is your mince mixture
5. Whilst the mince mixture is cooking, return the drained potatoes to a low heat with a k**b of butter and a splash of milk. Mash until smooth
6. Add the carrot batons to a large piece of tin foil with a k**b of butter, a grind of black pepper and a splash of water. Scrunch the foil around the carrots to form a tightly sealed parcel and add to a baking tray. Put the tray in the oven until tender – these are your buttered carrots
7. Add the mince mixture to an oven-proof dish and evenly top with the mashed potato. Put the dish in the oven for 15-20 min – this is your shepherd’s pie. Leave the shepherd’s pie to stand for 5 min before serving. Serve the shepherd’s pie with the buttered carrots to the side
Enjoy!
