Some time ago I had Shepherd's Pie that was made with shredded rather than minced lamb. It was to die for and I really wanted the recipe.

Sweat the onions in the olive oil for about 4-5 minutes. Then add the garlic and leeks and fry for about 2-3 minutes. Add the leftover lamb and fry for 1-2 minutes, mixing in well with the vegetables.
2.
Then add the red wine, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup and seasoning and simmer for about 1-2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and allow the sauce to reduce for 5 minutes.
3.
Place in a casserole dish and layer the leftover mashed potato on top, fluffing it with a fork. Bake at 180 C / Gas 4 for 20 minutes.
Tip
When you do your roast, make double the amount of mashed potato so you have enough left over for the Shepherd's Pie.
Tip
Include swede and carrots in your mash recipe - and a few tablespoons of creme fraiche. Serve your Shepherd's Pie with peas. There's something about lamb and peas, it's just a winning combination!
Made this for my wife the other night and she loved it. I didn't have any leeks, so added some celery and carrots. Added a bit of grated cheese on the mash (my own preference). It came out great and was a nice change from the usual minced beef/lamb versions.
Scrummy.... Seconds all round, just having the leftovers for my lunch, yum yum....... Added two small onions, followed the recipe to the letter, no salt or pepper added.... no need. Thanks for posting, it is one of my, must do again recipes.
Great recipe! I was able to use up leftover lamb and red wine very tasty.I didn't have any leeks so added peas and beans from freezer.The only tweak would be to mix the wine,ketchup and worcester sauce together before adding and I didn't bother with salt as not really needed with stock.
Used different ingredients.
This tasted great. I added a handful of diced carrot because I had some to hand and instead of mashed potato I topped my version with cheese mashed cauliflower. YUM
