Lamb Shank pie
This dish has alot of potato in it so I knew straight away I was on a winner with the combination of lamb and mashed potato. Hubby has very simple tastes. I also know a dish has been a success when the kids are scraping the plate and there are no leftovers..ahhh, it does the maternal instincts good.
My CWA cookbook revealed this recipe below:
Ingredients
3 shanks lamb,
3 cloves
3 tops celery seed (I just cut up celery stalks)
1 sprig thyme
speck sage (I'm figuring that was a pinch)
3 cups well-seasoned mashed potato
1 cup small kidney beans,
1 cup coarsely chopped cooked cabbage
1 cup cooked carrot
(I actually had some leftover vegetables from a previous meal which I added to the dish, instead of cooking up more veges, so it's a good meal for leftovers)
Method
1. Boil the shanks with seasoning until tender.
2. Remove the meat from the bone and cut into cubes.
3. Line individual moulds with seasoned mashed potato, fill with meat and other vegetables.
4. Moisten with lamb gravy. (You can make up an instant mix, but I think the recipe alludes to using the meat juices from the cooked shanks)
5. Top with mashed potato, brush over with beaten egg or milk and brown in a hot oven.
