Ingredients

1 tbsp Vegetable Oil, plus extra for brushing

350g Asda Diced Lamb

1 Onion, finely chopped

3 Carrots, sliced

1 tsp dried Thyme or Rosemary

2 tbsp Plain Flour

1 tbsp Tomato Purée

600ml Lamb or Beef stock, made up with 1 stock cube

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

800g white Potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced into 3mm discs

Green veg of your choice, to serve

Method

1
Heat the oven to 160°C/140°C fan/gas 3. Heat the oil in a non-stick 24cm dish over a high heat. Season the lamb with salt and fry in 2 batches for 10 mins each until golden brown. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2
Add the onion to the pan and fry over a medium heat for 10 mins. Stir in the sliced carrots, dried herbs, flour and tomato purée and cook for 3 mins. Return the lamb to the pan and stir everything until the meat is well coated. Add the stock in 3 batches, stirring between each, then add the Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a simmer, then take off the heat.
3
Lay 1/3 of the potatoes on the meat to create an even layer, then place the rest in an overlapping formation on top, starting from the edge. Brush with a little oil. Cover with a lid and cook for 1 hour 15 mins. Remove the lid, brush with a little more oil and put the pot under a high-heated grill for 8–10 mins or until golden brown. Serve with green veg of your choice, such as spinach, kale, broccoli or peas.
4
Cook’s tip: Carefully cut your potatoes with a mandoline for a super-thin finish.
5
Leftovers tip: Reheat portions of leftovers the following day in a sealed container on a high microwave heat for 3–4 mins or until piping hot.
