Ingredients

  • 2 spoons Oil, plant, sunflower

  • 750 g Meat, lamb, fillet

  • 125 g Mushrooms, mushrooms, fresh

  • 2 piece Carrot, fresh

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

  • 2 pod Garlic, fresh

  • 300 ml Water

  • 750 g Potatoes, white

  • 0.5 dl Milk, whole milk

  • 40 g Butter, unsalted

  • 1 teaspoon Salt, table

  • 2 pinch Spices, pepper, black

  • 1 spoon Oil, vegetable oil, canola

Steps

  1. Heat oil in a large pan, being careful not to let it smoke. Add the ground meat to the hot oil and slowly fry it, turning and breaking it up so it browns evenly on all sides. Drain off some of the excess fat, transfer the meat to a bowl, and cover.

  2. Peel, wash, and chop the onion, garlic, and carrot. Wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them. In the pan where you fried the meat, add the mushrooms, carrot, onion, and garlic, and slowly fry them over medium heat until softened. Stir occasionally.

  3. Return the meat to the pan and fry everything together for another minute while stirring. Add water, salt, and pepper, and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, wash and peel the potatoes and boil them in salted water for 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the cooked potatoes, add milk, butter, and salt, and mash into a smooth puree.

  5. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Pour the meat mixture into a greased baking dish and spread the mashed potatoes over the top. Use a fork to create a decorative pattern. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes until the surface is golden brown.

Advice

Instead of ground meat, you can also use cooked and chopped leftover lamb. Instead of water, you can also use lamb stock. Mashed potatoes will be even better if you mix in an egg yolk and a little grated Parmesan.
