Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220˚C).

2. 2

   Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground lamb, season with salt and pepper, and fry for 5 minutes, until cooked through.

3. 3

   Add the onion, carrots, garlic, thyme, and rosemary, stir, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the veggies are softened and the meat is well-browned.

4. 4

   Add the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce and stir to incorporate. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the liquid evaporates and the meat is aromatic.

5. 5

   Pour in the red wine and reduce until almost completely evaporated.

6. 6

   Add the chicken stock, bring to a boil, and cook the meat until the stock has evaporated, 5 minutes.

7. 7

   Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender. Drain, then return to the hot pan over low heat to dry out a bit.

8. 8

   Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and mash until smooth.

9. 9

   Add salt, the butter, egg yolks, sour cream, and Parmesan cheese. Fold until well combined.

10. 10

    Transfer the potatoes to a piping bag or zip-top bag fitted with a star tip.

    Spoon the lamb mixture into a large baking dish. Pipe the golden mashed potatoes over the lamb.
