SHEPHERD'S PIE | SLIMMING & WEIGHT WATCHERS FRIENDLY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cut the diced lamb very finely, and chop the onion.
• Spray a large saucepan with low calorie cooking spray and brown the lamb for 5-6 minutes. Slice the carrots, chop the green beans and grate the courgette, and add to the saucepan along with the onion and garlic.
• Cook the veg for around 5 minutes until they have just started to soften.
• Add the tomato puree, lamb stock pot and beef stock cubes. Cover with boiling water (around 900ml, depending on the size of your saucepan), mix thoroughly and pop a lid on. Cook for 25 minutes on a low heat, stirring occasionally to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom.
• Meanwhile, cook the Creamy Mashed Potatoes from our recipe, making double the amount! The spring onions are optional.
• Remove the lid from the meat, add the frozen peas and leave to reduce on a high heat for around 5 minutes.
• Pour the meat into a baking dish, top with the mashed potatoes, spray with low calorie cooking spray and place in the oven for 30 minutes until golden and crisp!

Steps:

• Set the oven to 200c or 400f (gas mark 6)
• Add the potatoes to a saucepan and just cover with chicken stock, bring to a boil, then allow to simmer (without lid) until stock is almost absorbed and potatoes and fork tender. Use the little bit of remaining stock that is in the pan along with the 2 eggs to mash the potatoes, until nice and smooth.
• Spray a frying pan with some cooking oil spray and add the lamb mince, onion, garlic and carrots and cook till meat is browned and vegetables softened.
• Add the thyme, rosemary, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce
• Add in the lamb stock and bring to the meat mixture to the boil and then reduce to a simmer until sauce thickens. Approx 15 mins
• Pour mince mixture into a oven proof dish (I used a square pyrex). Season with salt and pepper and add the frozen peas and sweetcorn.
• Top with the mash, and smooth over making line marks with a fork. Season over the top with a little salt and black pepper and spray with cooking oil spray (this helps the potatoes to go lovely and golden)
• Bake in oven for approx 30mins until the top is golden.
• Sprinkle with a little fresh chopped parsley.
• Serve with your choice of greens.
• Enjoy!!
