Ingredients

  • Leftover roast lamb, shredded

  • Cooked carrots and cabbage, chopped into bite-sized pieces

  • Any other cooked vegetables you have to hand or failing that handfuls of frozen peas and sweetcorn

  • 400ml gravy

  • 8 potatoes worth of mash

Method

  1. Take a large roasting dish and place the lamb at the bottom along with chopped vegetables. Pour the gravy on top and stir well so that everything is coated.

  2. Spoon the fluffy mash over the mixture and spread out to the edges. Use a fork to ruffle the surface. For maximum crispy bits dot with knobs of butter before roasting in the oven at 180ºC for 30 minutes (until cooked through).

    Note: If you assemble this meal it will keep in the freezer for up to two months if well wrapped. That’s a night off the cooking in the future.
