Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Spread the mash over the lamb, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Mash the drained potatoes with butter, milk, half the cheese, and grated cauliflower.

Transfer the lamb filling to a 2 litre shallow ovenproof dish.

Boil the cubed potatoes in a saucepan for 15-20 minutes until soft.

Simmer the mixture for 25-30 minutes until the sauce thickens and vegetables break down.

Stir in the flour followed by carrots, courgettes, tomatoes, purée, water, herbs, and stock cube.

Dry-fry the onion and lamb mince in a large saucepan for 8-10 minutes until browned.
