Shepherd's pie is basically a casserole with a layer of cooked meat and vegetables, topped with mashed potatoes, and baked in the oven until the mashed potatoes are browned. Shepherd's Pie comes to us from England and is traditionally made with lamb or mutton. It is a very western way of celebrating Christmas. Make this scrumptious Shepherd’s pie this Christmas at home with mutton whenever you are in the mood for the flavors of Christmas.

Steps

1hr 30 minutes

1

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute the onion in vegetable oil. Add ground mutton to the pan with the onions and minced garlic. Cook until no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper.
2

Add the mutton broth. Bring the broth to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, adding more broth if necessary to keep the meat from drying out.
3

Once the color changes, add 2 tbsp tomato paste and 1 tsp salt and 1tsp pepper
4

Now add 1 tbsp paprika powder, 1 tbsp cornflour and mix well
5

Finally add blanched carrots and peas and mix well.
6

Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in medium sized pot. Cover with at least an inch of cold water. Add 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender (about 20 minutes). When the potatoes are done cooking (a fork can easily pierce), remove them from the pot and place them in a bowl with 4 tbsp of butter,1tsp pepper powder. Mash with a potato masher, add eggs,milk, mozzarella cheese, salt and pepper to taste.
7

Spread the cooked filling in an even layer in a large baking dish (such as a 9 x 13-inch casserole. Spread the mashed potatoes over the top of the mutton. Rough up the surface of the mashed potatoes with a fork so there are peaks that will get well browned. You can even use a fork to make creative designs in the mashed potatoes.
8

Place in a preheated 400°F oven and cook until brown and bubbling, about 30 minutes. I have added butter finally on top before baking. Sprinkle some fresh thyme on top and serve hot with some red wine and enjoy your Christmas dinner.
