Ingredients

  • 2 sweet potatoes (about 500g), peeled and diced
  • 2 white potatoes (about 500g), peeled and diced
  • 2 tbsp essential Waitrose Half Fat Soured Cream
  • 1 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 500g essential Waitrose British Lamb Mince
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 2 tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp Madras or other hot curry paste
  • 150ml lamb or chicken stock
  • 200g frozen peas
  • ½ Juice of lemon

Method

  1. Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling water for 15 minutes, until tender. Drain well and mash with the soured cream.

  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, mince and cumin seeds and cook for 5 minutes until golden.

  3. Stir in the tomatoes and curry paste and cook for 5 minutes, until the tomatoes are pulpy. Add the stock and simmer for 10 minutes.

  4. Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Stir in the peas and lemon juice and spoon into an ovenproof dish (medium oval or about 18x25cm if rectangular).

  5. Spoon over the mash, place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, until the top is lightly browned.

And to drink...

The curry-flavour twist in this shepherd’s pie is delicious — but requires a firm wine to stand up to it. Tsantali Organic Cabernet from the Halkidiki region of Greece has an elegant fruity fire that complements the dish. It’s a great introduction to Greek wine
