Ingredients
1 ½lb potatoes (peeled & sliced)
3 tbsps cooking oil
4oz butter
4oz onions (sliced)
1 clove garlic (finely chopped)
1 lb cooked lamb (chopped into small pieces)
1 (14oz) can tomatoes
Salt & pepper
1oz flour
½ pint milk
4oz Scottish cheddar cheese (grated)
- Preheat the oven to gas mark 5, 375°F.
- Fry the potatoes until soft in the oil and 3oz of butter. Remove from the pan.
- Add the onion slices and fry until soft, then add the finely chopped garlic, lamb, tomatoes and juice from the can. Mix together and season well with salt and pepper.
- Line a buttered shallow 2 ½ -3 pint pie dish (or medium-size roasting pan) with the potatoes. Spread with the meat mixture.
- Place the flour, 1oz butter, milk, 2oz of the grated cheese, salt & pepper in a saucepan. Heat, whisking continuously, until the sauce thickens.
- Pour the sauce over the meat mixture. Sprinkle top with remaining grated cheese. Bake for about 30 minutes until the top is golden brown.
NB. This is a meal in itself and at the most, requires just a green salad or cooked green vegetables served with it. An excellent way of using left-over roast lamb. |
