Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Peel potato and cut into large chunks. • Cook potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. • Drain and return potato to the pan. Add the butter, Aussie spice blend and the milk, then mash until smooth. TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled! Little cooks: Get those muscles working and help mash the potatoes!
• Meanwhile, thinly slice onion and celery. Grate the carrot. Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the carrot.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and a splash of water and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Wash and dry the frying pan, then return to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook lamb mince, celery and carrot, breaking up mince with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. • Add All-American spice blend and tomato paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water and cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Stir through caramelised onion and season to taste.
• Preheat grill to medium-high. Transfer the lamb filling to a baking dish, then spread the potato mash over the top. • Sprinkle over shredded Cheddar cheese. • Grill pie until lightly golden, 5-8 minutes. Little cooks: Join in on the fun by smoothing the mash mixture evenly over the pie. Careful the filling might be hot!
• Divide hearty lamb and caramelised onion pie between plates. Enjoy!
