Ingredients

  • 400-500g/14oz-1lb 2oz leftover roast lamb
  • 1 carrot
  • 2 sticks celery
  • 1 sprig fresh parsley
  • 1 shallot
  • 5 cloves leftover roast garlic
  • 4 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 kg/2lb 4oz peeled, cooked floury potatoes
  • , to taste butter
  • dash of milk
  • salt and pepper
  • ½ head cabbagepak choi
  • 1 garlic
  • 1 red chilli
  • splash fish sauce
  • , for frying vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Scrape all the meat off the lamb bone and put through a mincer with the carrot, celery, parsley, shallots and leftover gravy and fat from the roasting tin. If you haven’t got a mincer then chop everything finely and mix together.
  • Add sweet roasted garlic cloves popped from their skins (or fresh garlic) and the ketchup.
  • Press the mixture into an ovenproof dish. Mash together the cooked potatoes with butter to taste and a dash of milk, and top the meat with the potatoes. Use a fork to make a pretty design on top.
  • Cover the dish with foil and cook in the oven for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and turn up the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6 for a final 10 minutes so it’s piping hot and lightly golden-brown on top.
  • For the stir-fried cabbage, heat the oil in a wok until hot, then stir fry the ingredients together for a few minutes until cooked, but so it keeps its colour and stays crunchy.
  • Serve the shepherd’s pie hot with the cabbage piled alongside.
