Shepherd's Pie
A classic with a Kiwi twist. The addition of kumara makes a change from the well-known potato topping - and we love the taste of lamb and kumara together. We bet the little ones in your family will love this meal just as much as you.

- Make the Shepherd's Pie ahead of time and keep refrigerated until ready to cook. Alternatively, freeze one to have on hand during a busy week. You will have to defrost and cook in the oven for at least an extra 15 minutes until hot and bubbling.
- To reduce the fat content of this dish, use Edam cheese.
- Cooking kumara in their skins prevents them from breaking up and the flesh becoming watery.
- Add 1 cup frozen green peas into the mince before placing in the ovenproof dish and topping with the kumara slices.
- Individual mini pies made up in ramekins are useful if you have children needing to eat at different times.

I think it would be better with flour add to the mince once it has cooked off, this would make it more saucer when finished and more economical too. Great at times like this. Finely grated carrot is also a nice bit to addition.

The flavour was amazing! The kumura went well and a nice change from a potato topping. It did not thicken up enough so I ended up adding 1 T flour and that helped. A keeper!

Lamb
Heat a dash of oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the lamb mince and brown, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up the mince as it browns. Remove to a bowl and set aside.Reduce heat to low, add another dash of oil and add the onion and carrot. Cook for 10 minutes until the onion is soft. Return lamb to the saucepan with the tomatoes, stock and Worcestershire sauce. Bring just to the boil, then reduce heat, partially cover and cook mince at a gentle simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir through the chopped herbs and season. The mince should be thick but not dry.
Kumara topping
Boil kumara in lightly salted water for about 25 minutes or until tender. Drain, then using kitchen paper to help you, peel away the skin. Cut kumara in round slices.To assemble
Spoon mince into the greased ovenproof dish and top with the kumara slices. Sprinkle with the grated cheese and place in the oven to cook for 25 minutes or until hot and bubbling.
