Instructions
Before you start
Preheat the oven to 180 °C fan bake. Bring a large steamer pot of hot tap water to a boil. Spray a baking dish with oil spray.
Start filling
Peel and mince 4 cloves garlic. Peel and finely slice 1 brown onion. Peel and finely dice or grate 1 carrot. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frypan on medium heat. Add the garlic, onion and carrot and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add 500 g lamb mince and cook a further 3-4 minutes, until the lamb is lightly browned.
Finish filling
Then add 2 tbsp flour, 400 g crushed tomatoes, ¼ cup tomato paste, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, ½ cup beef stock, 1 cup frozen peas, and 1 cup frozen corn and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-8 minutes, until the sauce is reduced.
Cook pie
Line the prepared baking dish with 8 sheets flaky puff pastry sheets (if using) to cover the base and sides. Transfer the filling to the prepared baking dish, and bake in the oven for 5-8 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crispy.
Make mash
Meanwhile, peel and finely dice 600 g potatoes. Add the potatoes to the steamer pot of boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until tender. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl and reserve the steamer pot with the water. Finely slice 1 tbsp chives (if using fresh). Add ½ cup sour cream and chives to the potatoes and mash until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cook greens
Bring the steamer pot of water back to a boil, and top up the water if needed. Add 1 cup frozen beans and cook for 3-4 mins, until tender.
To serve
Divide the lamb and veggie pie between plates and serve with the sour cream and chive mash and greens on the side.
