Shepherd’s Pie
Dating back to the early 1800s, this classic comfort dish
is elevated in our recipe with whole lamb as opposed
to mince, and the addition of flavour-enhancing red or
white wine with Sicilian-style passata, decadent melted
butter and a crust of golden new potatoes instead of
mash.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp. olive oil
4 leeks; washed and trimmed and
thinly sliced
2 carrots; peeled and cut into small
dice
½ glass white or red wine
½ bottle Forage and Feast Sicilian
Passata
½ cup lamb stock
1 tsp. fresh rosemary; finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
3 – 4 cups shredded left-over lamb
10 – 12 fresh new potatoes
3 tbsp. butter; melted

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Sauté the leeks and carrots in the olive oil for about 6 minutes.
Add the wine and cook for 3 minutes, then add the tomato passata, lamb stock
and rosemary and cook for about 5 minutes or until thick and reduced.
Add the lamb, let it heat through and season well.
Spoon into a 2L capacity oven-to-table dish.
Slice the potatoes into 5mm-thick slices.
Carefully arrange them on top of the meat in a single layer (each slice should
overlap a little).
Brush with melted butter and bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the
potatoes are cooked and golden.
