Method

1
Preheat the oven to 200°C.

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
3
Add 500g of minced lamb, cooking until browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in 1 chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 diced carrot, and 1 diced celery stalk; cook for another 5 minutes until vegetables are soft.
5
Mix in 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, and salt and pepper to taste.
6
Pour in 200ml of beef broth and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, then let simmer for 10 minutes until thickened.
7
While the filling simmers, boil 800g of peeled and cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.
8
Drain the potatoes and mash them with 50g of butter and 100ml of milk until smooth and creamy.
9
In a greased baking dish, layer the spicy lamb mixture, followed by a generous layer of mashed potatoes on top.
10
Sprinkle 50g of grated cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes for added richness.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbling.
