Ingredients
1 large cauliflower (2 lbs./900g)
2 garlic cloves
2 tbsp. butter
1.1 lbs. ground lamb
1 cup (150g) mixed frozen vegetables
3 tbsp. tomato puree
splash Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ cup (350ml) beef stock
1 tbsp. smoked paprika
½ tbsp. thyme
1 tsp. cinnamon
Method
Heat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the cauliflower puree by steaming or boiling the cauliflower along with the garlic. Once soft puree both garlic and cauliflower with a hand blender and mix in the butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In the meantime, heat a large, dry non-stick pan and fry the lamb for about 5 minutes until browned, then get rid of excess fat. Add in the frozen vegetables, tomato puree, Worcestershire sauce and fry for another 5 minutes.
Pour in the beef stock and add in the seasoning, bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes.
Place the mixture to 4 mini baking tins or 1 medium baking tin. Top with the cauliflower puree and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
