Ingredients

600gground lamb
4 cupsmashed potato
1 cup / to tastepeas and onion

Instructions

1

Brown the lamb thoroughly with the onion until no pink remains.

2

Stir in the peas and a splash of stock to loosen the mixture into a saucy, not dry, filling.

3

Spread the lamb mixture evenly into a baking dish, smoothing the top so the potato layer sits flat.

4

Top with a thick, even layer of mashed potato, roughing up the surface with a fork so it catches and crisps, then bake at 200C for 25 minutes until deep golden.
