Ingredients diff

  • 1 lb ground lamb
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

Steps diff

  • Brown lamb with onion and carrots until well caramelized and fragrant.
  • Stir in tomato paste and stock and simmer until the filling is thick and spoonable.
  • Transfer filling to a baking dish in an even layer.
  • Spread mashed potatoes on top, sealing to the edge and roughing the surface.
  • Bake at 400F until bubbling at the edges and deeply golden on top.

Technique notes diff

  • Reducing the filling | Concentrates flavor and thickens structure. | Keeps slices intact instead of soupy.
  • Temperature control before and during bake | Consistent dough and oven temperature regulates steam release, set rate, and browning kinetics. | This recipe depends on crisp structure and even doneness rather than uneven browning.
