Ingredients: •Olive Oil (2 Tbsp)
•Ground Lamb or Beef (about 1.5 lbs)
•1 Large Carrot (grated)
•1 Large Onion (grated)
•Fresh Rosemary
•Fresh Thyme
•Minced Garlic (I used 4 cloves)
•Salt
•Pepper
•Worcestershire Sauce (several splashes)
•Tomato Puree or Paste (no more than a small can)
•Red Wine (several glugs)
•Chicken Stock (not sure, but it looks like about 1/4 cup)
The Mash:
•Golden Potatoes (about 1.5 lbs)

•Butter (3 1/2 Tbsp)
•Salt
•Pepper
•Egg Yolks (2)
•Parmesan Cheese (1/4 cup, minimum)

Directions:STEP ONE:
•Dice the garlic
•Separate your herbs from the stems
•Separate your Egg Yolks
•Peel and Slice your potatoes into even pieces
•Open your wine if it’s not already
•Open your can of Tomato Paste
STEP TWO - COOKING THE FILLING:
Pour Olive Oil into a hot, rather large pan, then add meat. Stir meat as if your life depends on it for a few minutes so it’s nice and brown, and broken into very small pieces. Add your Rosemary, Thyme, and Garlic, then stir some more. Quickly add your Carrot, and Onion, stir a little longer. The idea at this point is to get everything to a minced consistency.
Add Worcestershire Sauce, stir, add Tomato Puree, stir, add Red Wine and sweat down for a minute or two. Add chicken stock and cook for 3 more minutes. I made mine without the stock because I didn’t notice it the first time I watched the show. You can add it, or leave it out.
STEP THREE - AND FINAL TASK:
Scoop your meat mixture into a deep casserole or other oven safe dish and then spoon the mash over the top. Spread the mash over the top of the mix with the bottom of the spoon and then sprinkle a generous portion of Parmesan cheese over the top. Poke the top with a fork several times to give it a peaked look and stick it in the oven at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes to brown the potatoes and set the pie. Serve it up and watch people melt! Oh I love Shepherd Pie!
