Ingredients |
For the lamb ragu:
use this or lamb ragu recipe
300g lamb mince
1 onion,
1 crushed carrot
1 stalk grated celery, finely chopped
½ tsp rosemary chopped
1 tbsp plain flour
red wine a splash (optional)
400ml lamb stock
a dash Worcestershire sauce
|
For the potatoes:
4 large baking potatoes
25g butter
100g cheddar
1 tbsp grated chives chopped
|
|
-
Heat the oven to 220C/fan
200C/gas 7. Prick the potatoes then bake for 45 minutes
- 1 hour or until tender.
-
While the potatoes cook, put
the lamb mince in a large non-stick pan, season and fry
until browned. There should be enough fat in the mince so
you won’t need any oil.
-
Add the onion and cook for 5
minutes. Add the carrot, celery and rosemary, cover and
cook for another 10 minutes, stirring now and again until
the veg is soft.
-
Stir in the flour until
it disappears then, if using, add the wine and cook until
evaporated. Stir in the stock and Worcestershire sauce,
cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
-
Halve the potatoes then
scoop out the middles into a bowl, leaving a 1cm-thick
shell of potato. Mash the butter into the scooped potato
with a fork then stir in ¾ of the cheddar and chives.
-
Put the potato halves on a
large roasting tray. Divide the mince between the shells
then top with the cheesy mash. Rough up the surface with a
fork then sprinkle over the rest of the cheese and put in
the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes or until golden and
bubbling. Sprinkle with the remaining chives and serve.
