You will need..... 1 small onion, peeled and chopped 2 oz. mushrooms, sliced
1/2 oz. dripping
Preparation Time 1 lb. cooked lamb,
minced
5 minutes
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Time
1/2 pint gravy
45 minutes 1 lb. potatoes,
boiled and mashed
1 egg lightly beaten
Oven setting
400ºF; Gas Mark 6
Fry the
onion and mushrooms for a few minutes in the dripping. Reserve a few
mushroom slices for decoration. Add the lamb, Worcestershire sauce,
salt, pepper and gravy. Mix well and place in an ovenproof dish. Pile the
mashed potato on top and rough up with fork-or pipe in on with a large
forcing bag or tube. Brush the top with beaten egg (see Quick Tip
below). Cook in a
moderately hot oven for about 40 minutes until golden brown. Decorate
with mushroom slices and return to the oven to reheat for a few
minutes. Serves 4
Quick Tip
To give a golden brown
finish to any potato topping and likewise to pastry, brush with a
beaten egg yolk before putting in the oven. If no egg yolk is
available, milk can be used though the result is not so golden.
