There are often leftovers when we have a roast dinner, depending on the size of the roast it can sometimes do us for three meals. I don't know about you, but three roast dinners in a row is a bit much.
We had roast lamb a few nights ago, so I thought I would try something a bit different and put a spin on shepherd's pie.
This is an eye-ball recipe, so there aren't really any measurements of anything.

INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
TIME TO PREPARE: Approximately one episode of 'Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge'
BONUS TINY HUMAN RECIPE
Mix together approximately 1tsp pie filling, 1 frozen mashed carrot cube and 2 - 4tsp Only Organic Stage 2 Cauliflower, Broccoli, Cheddar Baby Food (or savory baby food of choice).
- Leftover Roast Lamb (would work with beef)
- Leftover Roast Vegetables (if you have any)
I had roast potato, kumara & beetroot - 2 Carrots
- 2 Large Button Mushrooms
- 1/2 a Small Cauliflower
- Frozen Peas
- 3 Frozen Spinach Cubes
- Rich Brown Bisto
- Edmond's Flakey Pastry Sheets (enough for your pie dish)
- 2 Mashed Kumara (this is for the pie top)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat over to about 180°C
- Chop roast vegetables and fresh vegetables and finely shop roast lamb (or beef), so it is like a hand chopped mince.
- Heat oil in pan and cook all vegetables, starting with the fresh vegetables (carrots, cauliflower & mushrooms).
- Once the fresh vegetables are well on their way to being cooked, add frozen vegetables (peas & spinach), chopped roast vegetables and meat. Cook until everything is evenly hot.
- Add 2 - 3Tbsp of Rich Brown Bisto to pan and mix through water (slowly) to form pie gravy.
Too much gravy will create a sloppy pie, not enough gravy will give you a dry pie that doesn't hold together well. - Rub pie dish with butter and line with pastry.
- Add meat & vegetables to pie dish and top with mashed kumara.
- Place in oven and cook for approximately 45 - 55mins (till pastry is cooked).
- Can serve with steamed vegetables or by itself (it is after all a roast meal in a pie).
