Lamb Mince, 500g
The secret to a proper shepherd's pie.
Lamb mince brings more flavour to the pan than beef, with a natural sweetness that stands up to spice and herbs. It's the only choice for a real shepherd's pie, and the base of moussaka, koftas and keema.
Brown it well in batches, drain off any excess fat, and build from there.

How to cook lamb mince
- Brown: heat a large pan until hot and add the mince in two batches, breaking it up. Let it colour properly rather than stewing.
- Drain: tip off excess fat if you like a leaner finish.
- Build: add onions, garlic and spices, then stock or tomatoes, and simmer for at least 30 minutes.
- Check: mince must always be cooked through, with no pink, until steaming hot.
