Lamb Shepherds Pie
The name Shepherds Pie is a particularly apt name for our final Day 5 LAMB WEEK RECIPE to celebrate BUY SA WEEK.
With Shepherds being people to care for flocks of sheep.
As you are likely aware from the familiar Christmas Carol “while shepherds watch their flocks by night”.
Shepherds Pie is believed to have emerged in the 17th century in England and Scotland as a way to make the most of leftover roast meats.
Cottage Pie is the Beef version of the same recipe.
This Shepherds Pie is a more tomato and lamb mince take on Shepherds Pie. Sometimes I mix it up with a more "gravy" type Shepherds Pie. However it comes, meat with veg and mashed potato - what is not to love!
Hey Presto Lamb Shanks Pie is the second recipe in our LAMB WEEK SERIES as a part of BUY SA WEEK.

Lamb Shepherds PIe
Shepherds Pie is a family favourite of ours. Which is even gobbled up, including the fresh parsley garnish (which often gets looked at sideways!). This Shepherds Pie is a more tomato and lamb mince take on Shepherds Pie. Sometimes I mix it up with a more "gravy" type Shepherds Pie. However it comes, meat with veg and mashed potato - what is not to love!
