Directions

- Mash potatoes in mixer or by hand until smooth, add milk & 1/4 cup of butter mixture, then season with nutmeg and salt.
- Preheat a large Dutch oven or pot over high heat. Brown the lamb and onions with the remaining 1/4 cup butter.
- Once the ground lamb is nicely browned, stir the garlic and tomato paste. After 30 seconds, stir in the flour, mixing well to incorporate and eliminate any lumps.
- Deglaze with the Samuel Adams Irish Red beer, boil for 30 seconds, and then add the beef stock. Simmer until thickened nicely, approximately 5 minutes on low heat, taste and re-season.
- Chop remaining parsley and fold into ground lamb mixture.
- In a separate bowl, combine frozen peas, corn kernels, and cooked carrots; season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Fold chive and parsley puree into mashed potatoes.
- To assemble the Shepherd’s Pie, in a greased baking dish, first add the lamb mixture, and then top with the vegetables.
- Finally, top with mashed potatoes. Wrap dish in aluminum foil then bake in a 325 degree F oven for 20-25 minutes or until piping hot. Carefully remove from the oven and enjoy!
