Lamb and Rosemary Shepherd's Delight Recipe

Description:

A hearty and comforting dish, Lamb and Rosemary Shepherd's Delight is presented as a rustic casserole. A rich, dark brown ground lamb mixture, speckled with vibrant green peas and flecks of rosemary, is nestled beneath a creamy blanket of golden-brown mashed potatoes. The aroma of rosemary and thyme fills the kitchen, promising a warm and savory experience. The top of the casserole is lightly browned and slightly textured from the oven baking. The edges of the mashed potatoes might show a touch of caramelization. The overall appearance is inviting and home-style, perfect for a chilly evening.


Ingredients:

  • - 1 lb ground lamb
  • - 1 large onion, chopped
  • - 2 carrots, chopped
  • - 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • - 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • - 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • - 1 tsp dried thyme
  • - 1/2 tsp salt
  • - 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • - 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • - 2 cups beef broth
  • - 1 cup frozen peas
  • - 1 cup mashed potatoes

Instructions:

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, brown the ground lamb over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. 2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. 3. Sprinkle the flour over the lamb and vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. 4. Gradually whisk in the beef broth until smooth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
  5. 5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. 6. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
  7. 7. Top the lamb mixture with a generous layer of mashed potatoes, spreading it evenly.
  8. 8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mashed potatoes are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
