What is more comforting than a big hearty pulled lamb pie?
Ingredients:
- 1½ medium onions
- 2kg leg of lamb (deboned)
- 1 large heaped tbs minced garlic
- VOO (Virgin Olive Oil)
- 10 large brown mushrooms
- 170g baby carrots
- 1 liter boiling water
- 300ml good quality red wine
- 150ml port
Spices:
- Freshly ground coriander
- Salt
- BBQ Spices
- 12 cloves
Method:
- Cut onions into medium size chunks
- Fry until shiny in a large pot.
- Add the garlic, fry until fragrant, scoop out, and set aside.
- Cut the meat up into large pieces, and fry in batches.
- Add ½ of the onion/garlic mix and all the meat back into the pot.
- Add water, red wine, and port and cook for ± 3 hours on low-medium heat.
- The meat should be soft and tender and you should be able to pull it apart with a fork.
- Slice mushrooms and set them aside.
- Cut carrots into cubes and add to the pot and cook until semi-soft – not mushy soft.
- Add the other ½ of the onion/garlic, all the mushrooms, and if needed additional spice (to your taste).
- Cook for another ½-1 hour.
- If you run low on liquid, add a bit of additional water, but be cautious not to overdo it.
- It should not be watery. You can use some cornstarch (Maiziena) to thicken it if needed.
In the meantime, prepare Mashed Potatoes.
Ingredients:
- 3 large potatoes
- Butter
- Milk
- Salt
- Cook the potatoes until soft and prepare the mash.
- Add salt to taste, butter, and milk to get a good soft consistency.
- Scoop the meat into a large 13 x 9 2 x 2.5-inch dish.
- Top with the mashed potatoes.
- Paint with egg wash.
- Draw criss-cross patterns with a fork on the potatoes.
- Return to the oven and heat through, and also grill the potato top until slightly brown.
