Stir in minced garlic, flour, tomato paste, and cook for 1 minute.

Gradually pour in the stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy has thickened.

Season the lamb mixture with salt and pepper to taste. If not using an oven-safe dish, transfer the mixture to a suitable ovenproof dish.

While the lamb mixture is simmering, boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain well and mash with butter and warmed milk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
