Dairy Free Shepherds Pie is a great winter supper. It’s simple to make, can be made in advance and heated up later, and most importantly is a really warm, filling dinner. We love crisp mashed potato on the top so don’t rush the final cooking.

Ingredients
- Mashed Potato
- 700g potatoes, I like Maris Piper
- 1/4 pint non-dairy milk
- 2 tbsp non-dairy margarine (we like Vitalite)
- salt and pepper
- For the mince
- 750g lamb mince
- 1/3 tin of chopped tomatoes
- 1/2 cup of peas
- 5 or 6 sliced brown cap mushrooms
- 1 chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
- 2 tsp Worcester Sauce
- salt and pepper
Directions
- Step 1
- For the mash peel and chop potatoes and boil until soft (about 20 minutes)
- Step 2
- Drain and mash adding in the milk, butter salt and pepper
- Step 3
- Add the milk a bit at a time to make sure you get a nice consistency as the type of potato can affect the consistency – I like a little more milk to make them very light. Put to one side to cool
- Step 4
- For the filling fry the onion in a bit of oil and add the garlic
- Step 5
- Add the lamb mince to brown, this takes a bit of time so be patient
- Step 6
- Once the lamb is brown add the tomatoes, worcester sauce, tomato puree and mushrooms
- Step 7
- Let it burble for a good 20 minutes
- Step 8
- Add in the peas and let cool
- Step 9
- Once cool put into a casserole dish, top with mashed potatoes and cook in the oven for 30 minutes until the potato is golden and the filling piping hot.
