Shepherd's pie

Shepherd's pie

Ingredients

  • 300 g lamb mince
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 tbsp tomato purée
  • 300 ml unsalted stock
  • 3 potatoes
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp butter

Contains: Milk

Method

  1. Brown the mince with the onion and carrot; add the purée and stock and simmer 20 minutes.
  2. Boil and mash the potatoes with the milk and butter.
  3. Top the mince with the mash and bake at 200 °C for 25 minutes.
  4. Serve your child's portion; salt the adults' plates.
Safety: Serve your child's portion first, then salt the rest for the adults.
Storage: Fridge 3 days, freezer 2 months.
Tip: The lamb version of the cottage pie. Lamb is rich in iron and zinc, and mince is the easiest form of it for a toddler.
