This a fabulous one-pan meal. Serve with a salad and French bread. Just use left over fried, baked, or grilled chicken. You may substitute your family's favorite vegetable in place of corn. Potatoes and roasted garlic can be done 1 to 2 days ahead. If preference is to use dried spices, then use 1/2 teaspoon each of thyme and rosemary. Use any cheese of your choice.

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 Russet potatoes, about 2 pounds, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
Salt to taste, if desired
1 tablespoon peanut, vegetable or corn oil
3/4 cup finely chopped onions
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
1 tablespoon curry powder

1 teaspoon sugar
2 cups cooked fresh or frozen green peas

3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes into a pot and add water to cover and salt to taste. Bring to the boil and cook 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • As the potatoes cook, heat the oil in a skillet and add the onions and garlic over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are wilted. Add the curry powder, cumin and coriander and cook briefly, stirring.

6 potatoes, large and mashed with butter
2 cups tiny peas, defrosted
1 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoons garlic, chopped
3/4 cup onion, chopped
1 tablespoon curry powder (or to taste)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 lbs ground lamb
1/3 cup ketchup
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Mash the potatoes with butter and milk. Season with salt & pepper.

  • Put mixture into a baking dish and top with the defrosted frozen peas, then the mashed potato mixture. Smooth over the top. Dot with a tablespoon of butter. Run the mixture under the broiler until it is golden brown.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pie crust for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling.
  • To make sure the filling is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have any leftover chicken, you can use a rotisserie chicken from the store.
  • For a vegetarian version of this pie, use tofu or lentils instead of chicken.
  • Serve the pie with a side of mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
