Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Place olive oil and butter in Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in onion and ground lamb; brown the meat, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in flour until incorporated, then mix in salt, black pepper, rosemary, paprika, cinnamon, ketchup, and garlic; cook and stir until garlic is fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir in water and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. Reduce heat to medium-low and bring mixture to a simmer; cook and stir until thick, about 5-6 minutes.
- Remove lamb mixture from heat and stir in peas and carrots until combined.
- Spread lamb mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- Place potatoes into a large pan of salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well and return potatoes to pan.
- Mash butter, cayenne pepper, cream cheese, and Irish cheese into the potatoes. Mash until combined and potatoes are smooth. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Whisk together egg yolk and milk in a small bowl; stir into the mashed potato mixture.
- Top the lamb mixture in the baking dish with the mashed potatoes and spread evenly to cover.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and sauce is bubbling up around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes.

TRADITIONAL IRISH SHEPHERD'S PIE
Posting this per a request. I've said it once and I'll say it again there is nothing Irish about Corned Beef and Cabbage, but Shepherd's Pie has always been and still is a staple of traditional Irish cooking. This is a really easy, but tasty recipe that the whole family will enjoy. It's nutritionally sound with all the major food groups represented. The British use lamb in their Shepherd's Pie, but we've always used beef. Do whatever you prefer or even try turkey if you're watching fat content. This sauce is lovely and rich and should go well with any meat. You can use fresh or leftover mashed potato. I usually use 3 tbsp of ketchup instead of the 2tbsp of tomato paste as I like the hint of sweetness, but traditionally the paste would be more sound! You can also make individual pies which are always a hit with the kids. This freezes beautifully too, so make two and save one! Just let it defrost and glaze with the egg and pop into the oven as directed. Enjoy! :)

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 200C/400°F.
- Saute carrots in the olive oil until starting to get tender.
- Add in the onions and saute for a minute or two then add the meat.
- Season with black pepper and thyme.
- Cook until browned then drain fat.
- Add the butter and peas.
- Sprinkle with flour and stir through.
- Add tomato paste, wine and Worcestershire sauce.
- Let this reduce slightly then add the chicken stock. Allow to reduce down until you have a thick meaty gravy. Season to your taste.
- Remove from heat. Grease an oven proof dish** (9x13 works for me, as does an oval baker) with butter and add the sauce.
- Spoon or pipe the mashed potatoes over top. Brush with egg and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if using.
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until the potato is nice and browned on top.
- Serve as is or with some crusty bread to mop up that yummy sauce!

IRISH STEW
Steps:
- Put lamb in a 5-quart heavy pot with 5 cups water and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Drain lamb in a colander, then rinse with cold water.
- Wash leeks in a bowl of cold water, then lift out and drain well in a sieve. Peel and coarsely chop large boiling potatoes, then add to pot with leeks, chopped onions, celery, garlic, salt, pepper, and 6 cups water. Bring to a boil and add lamb, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 1 hour. (Vegetables will be very soft.)
- Transfer lamb with tongs to a small bowl. Force cooking liquid (with vegetables) through food mill into a large bowl. Discard any solids. Return cooking liquid to pot. Add lamb, small potatoes, and boiling onions. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered and stirring occasionally, until meat and vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes. Add carrots and simmer, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in parsley and season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven to ensure that there is enough space for all the ingredients and that the stew can simmer comfortably.
- Brown the meat in batches to prevent the pot from becoming overcrowded and to ensure that the meat is evenly browned.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your stew, such as carrots, potatoes, celery, and onions. You can also add other vegetables, such as parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas.
- Use a good quality beef stock or broth. This will add a lot of flavor to the stew.
- Season the stew to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves.
- Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- Serve the stew with a side of crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
Australian-Irish Shepherd's Stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying stew that the whole family will enjoy.
