👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Preheat oven to 190°C (170°C fan/Gas Mark 5).
💡 Profitipps: Ensures the oven is at the correct temperature for even cooking. - 2
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pan or casserole dish over medium-high heat. Add lamb mince and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
- 3
Add chopped onion, carrots, and minced garlic to the pan. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 4
Pour in the red wine and cook until it has mostly evaporated, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- 5
Stir in the beef stock, tomato paste, rosemary, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld.
- 6
While the filling simmers, place the cubed kumara in a large saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 20-25 minutes.
- 7
Drain the kumara well. Mash with butter and milk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
💡 Profitipps: Add milk gradually to achieve desired consistency. - 8
Once the filling has simmered, season with salt and pepper to taste. If it seems too thin, you can simmer it uncovered for a few more minutes to thicken.
💡 Profitipps: Taste and adjust seasoning before topping. - 9
Spoon the kumara mash evenly over the lamb filling. Use a fork to create a decorative pattern on top.
💡 Profitipps: Ensure the mash covers the filling completely to prevent it from drying out. - 10
Drizzle the Manuka honey glaze over the kumara topping.
💡 Profitipps: Warm the honey slightly to make it easier to drizzle. - 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- 12
Let the pie rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
💡 Profitipps: Resting allows the filling to set slightly.
