Make the filling and mash the potatoes (without the butter and egg yolks) the day before. Chill in containers. When you’re ready to cook, warm the mash, beat in the butter and egg yolks, then pile on top of the filling and bake.
You can freeze the finished pie, well wrapped in cling film, for up to 3 months. Defrost, then reheat in a medium oven.
There are plenty of European red wines that suit this, but my favourite would be a medium-bodied red bordeaux from the Médoc region – all curranty cassis and cedarwood.

Agree with above comments on not understanding why this has such a low rate – I thought it was delicious!
I was a bit more generous with the Worcestershire sauce, stock and puree so it could cook down a little longer and added some fresh rosemary – it turned out better then the roast I made the night before to give me the leftovers to make this. So good.
[…] where we do Lamb is often on offer and the leftover meat is perfect for a slow cooked Shepherds Pie. Just add frozen peas and job […]
This is the testiest recipe for my leftover lamb I have no idea why its not 5 star
I don’t understand why this recipe has such a low rate. Personally, it was my best shepherd’s pie and I’ve been looking for THE recipe for this. This is definitely going to become a classic for my family.
