- 2 stalks Celery
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
- 1 cup Beef Broth

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 190°C. Prepare the vegetables: peel and chop the 1 medium Onion, 2 medium Carrots, and 2 stalks Celery into 1.27 cm pieces. Mince the 2 cloves Garlic.
- 2In a large skillet, brown the about 450 g Ground Lamb over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no pink remains and an internal temperature of 71°C is reached. Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Add the chopped 1 medium Onion, 2 medium Carrots, and 2 stalks Celery to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have softened.
- 3Stir in the minced 2 cloves Garlic and 2 tbsp Tomato Paste into the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the mixture is fragrant. Pour in the 1 cup Beef Broth and 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce. Add the 1 tsp Dried Thyme, 1/2 tsp Salt, and 1/4 tsp Black Pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- 4While the meat mixture is simmering, prepare the sweet potato topping. Peel and chop the 2 large Sweet Potatoes into 2.54 cm pieces. Place the chopped 2 large Sweet Potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are very tender and easily pierced with a fork. Drain the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then return them to the pot and mash them with the 2 tbsp Butter and 1/4 cup Milk until smooth and creamy.
- 5Pour the cooked meat mixture evenly into a baking dish. Carefully spread the mashed sweet potato topping evenly over the meat mixture, ensuring it covers the entire surface. Bake in the preheated 190°C oven for 20-25 minutes, until the sweet potato topping is golden brown and the filling is visibly bubbling around the edges.
- 6Remove the baking dish from the oven. Let the shepherd's pie cool for 10-15 minutes before serving; this allows the filling to set and prevents burns.
