Any cravings for salad have been filed away until sunnier days. However, this delicious minted lamb shepherd’s pie recipe is packed with veg to squeeze in part of our daily vegetable intake, and for those who aren’t veg fans, because the carrots and onions are blitzed in the food processor, they are also hidden.
It’s also amazing served with a side dish of sweet sticky red cabbage.
