Directions:Preheat oven to 400º. Heat oil is large skillet over medium low heat. Add onion, carrot and celery and cook until softened, 15 minutes. Increase heat to medium high and add ground lamb. Cook stirring for 10 minutes, breaking up meat with wooden spoon. Spoon off excess fat.
Add the flour and cook for 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and all the spices. Reduce heat to low. Add the veggies if using. Cook for 5 minutes until thickened.

Notes: I don't wait for the leftover lamb, I buy ground lamb just to make this dish. The already prepared mashed potatoes make this really easy to prepare, and it's comfort food at it's best.
