How to make it

Steps in our own plain words.

  1. Dust your meat with flour to lightly coat.

  2. Heat enough vegetable oil in a large pot to fill the base.

  3. Fry the onion and meat till lightly browned.

  4. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Add the more seasoning, stock and carrots to taste.

  6. Bring to the boil, cover.

  7. Turn the heat down to a simmer.

  8. Simmer for at least an hour until the meat is tender.

  9. Take your time cooking your meat, the longer you leave it to heat, the better the flavour will be.

  10. Turn the oven on to 350°F.

  11. Add your drained potato cubes to the lamb.

  12. Turn the mix into a pie dish or casserole.

  13. Cover with the shortcrust pastry.

  14. Make three slits in the top of your pastry to release any steam while cooking.

  15. Brush with beaten egg.

  16. Bake for around 40 minutes, until the pastry is golden.

  17. Serve.
