Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Combine the garlic, bay leaf, carrot, celery, onion and oil in a medium skillet and cook, covered, over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes. Push the vegetables to the perimeter of the pan and add the lamb. Increase the heat to high and cook, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon, until browned all over. Sprinkle with the mustard, 1 teaspoon of the salt and some pepper. Stir until fragrant, 1 minute, then add the tomato paste, fennel seeds and tomato puree and stir again. Cook for 1 minute more. Turn off the heat and stir in the mint and sage. Remove the bay leaf.
- Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover by 2 inches with salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Cook until a knife releases easily from the potatoes when pierced in the center, 12 to 15 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water and drain the potatoes. In the same pot, combine the milk, butter, and 1/2 cup of the cooking water and stir together over high heat. Bring to a boil. Mash the potatoes with a masher, then slowly drizzle the hot liquid over the potatoes and stir until light and fluffy. Taste and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the lamb mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch deep-dish pie plate, spreading it evenly over the bottom. Spoon the mashed potatoes over the top, covering completely. Use the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to create a swirled pattern in the potatoes. Bake until the topping turns golden in spots, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.
GORDON RAMSAY'S SHEPHERD'S PIE

Steps:
- Prepare the mashed potatoes:.

- Prepare the filling:.
- Add 2 T grated Parmesan cheese. Cover, set aside, keep warm while preparing beef.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil, stir fry beef until no longer pink. Drain off excess grease. Add onion, garlic, and carrot and stir fry for 3 minutes.
- Add worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, thyme and rosemary, cook for 1 minute. Add wine and simmer until wine has almost evaporated. Add the broth and simmer for 5 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Transfer beef to a deep dish.
- Spoon mashed potato on top of beef. Sprinkle with 1 T grated Parmesan cheese. Fluff with a fork to create peaks.
- Bake in a 400° F oven for 20 minutes or broil until top is brown.

Tips:
- Choose a hearty lentil: Lentils are the heart of this shepherd's pie, so choose a variety that will hold its shape and texture in the dish. Puy lentils, black lentils, and green lentils are all good options.
- Don't overcook the lentils: Lentils should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bite to them. Overcooked lentils will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you add to your shepherd's pie, the more flavorful and nutritious it will be. Try using a combination of carrots, celery, onions, mushrooms, peas, and corn.
- Don't forget the herbs and spices: Herbs and spices add a lot of flavor to shepherd's pie. Use a combination of thyme, rosemary, sage, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Make a creamy sauce: A creamy sauce helps to bind the ingredients together and makes the shepherd's pie more decadent. You can use a combination of milk, flour, and butter to make a simple white sauce, or you can add a little cheese or cream cheese for extra flavor.
- Top with a crispy potato crust: The potato crust is the finishing touch on this shepherd's pie. Make sure to use a starchy potato, such as a Yukon Gold or Russet potato, so that the crust will be crispy and golden brown.
Conclusion:
Lambless shepherd's pie is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying shepherd's pie that the whole family will enjoy.
