What you'll need

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish.
  2. Place chopped potatoes in salted water, bring to a boil, and cook until tender (about 15 minutes). Drain and mash with butter and milk until smooth.
  3. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery, sautéing until softened (about 8 minutes).
  4. Add minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet; cook for 1 minute to release their fragrance.
  5. Add ground lamb to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until well browned.
  6. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, then pour in bone broth and balsamic vinegar. Simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes until the liquid reduces into a thick gravy.
  7. Fold in peas during the last 2 minutes of simmering. Season generously with sea salt and black pepper.
  8. Transfer the meat mixture to the baking dish, spread mashed potatoes over the top, and create ridges with a fork for browning. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.
