Steps:
- To make the mash, put the parsnips in a pan of cold water, season with salt and bring to the boil then simmer for 15-20 minutes until completely tender. Parsnips can be quite fibrous, so err on the side of breaking up. Drain really well then mash with a big knob of butter, some seasoning and a good splash of milk, cream or crème fraîche.
- To make the filling, heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan then cook the onion, celery and carrot with a pinch of salt for about 5 minutes until softened. Add in the lamb and cook until browned all over. Add the spices and cook for 1 minute, then stir in the flour and cook for another minute until it disappears.
- Stir in the tomato purée and stock and simmer for 10-15 minutes until thickened but still saucy.
- Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Tip the lamb mix into a baking dish and top with the parsnip mash. Fork to roughen the surface and dot with a little more butter. Cook in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until bubbling and golden.

Tips:
- Choose the right parsnips: Look for firm, smooth parsnips with no blemishes or bruises. Smaller parsnips tend to be more tender and flavorful.
- Peel the parsnips thinly: This will help them cook more evenly.
- Use a variety of spices: The spices in this recipe (cumin, coriander, and paprika) add a warm, earthy flavor to the dish. Feel free to experiment with other spices, such as curry powder, chili powder, or smoked paprika.
- Don't overcook the parsnips: They should be tender but still slightly firm.
- Use a good quality lamb mince: This will make a big difference to the flavor of the dish. Look for lamb mince that is fresh and has a good fat content.
- Cook the lamb mince until it is browned: This will help to develop the flavor and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Use a good quality stock: This will also add to the flavor of the dish. Use a stock that is made with real bones and vegetables, rather than a bouillon cube or powder.
- Let the pie cool slightly before serving: This will help the filling to set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
This spiced parsnip shepherd's pie is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold night. The parsnips add a unique sweetness and flavor to the dish, while the spices give it a warm, earthy flavor. The lamb mince is cooked until it is tender and juicy, and the creamy mashed potatoes add a touch of richness. This pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
