Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil ((extra virgin))
  • 1 lbs ground lamb
  • 2 tsp each, salt & pepper ((divided into 2 equal portions - 1 tsp each))
  • 1 large white onion ((finely grated))
  • 1 large carrot ((finely grated))
  • 2 cloves garlic ((finely grated))
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tbsp tomato puree ((or tomato paste, but then only 1 1/2 tablespoons))
  • 1 cup dry red wine ((I use Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir))
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme ((chopped))
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary ((chopped))
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 2 lbs russet potatoes ((washed, peeled and quartered))
  • 2 Tbsp butter ((unsalted))
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese ((reserve some for topping, if desired))

Directions

  1. 1

    Bring a large cast iron skillet, skillet, or frying pan to high heat with the olive oil.

  2. 2

    In a large stockpot cover peeled potatoes with water then boil the potatoes for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Drain.

  3. 3

    Spoon the lamb meat into a casserole dish and then top with the potato. Using a spatula run the potatoes completely over the mince filling in any holes. It should look like a smooth mound.
