  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups peeled and chopped potatoes
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Place the chopped potatoes in a pot, cover them with water, and bring everything to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes, return them to the pot, and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground lamb and cook until browned.
  5. Stir in the diced onion and carrot to the lamb mixture. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in the minced garlic, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped rosemary; cook for another 2 minutes.
  7. Add the frozen peas into the mixture, cooking for another minute.
  8. Place the mini phyllo shells on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the hearty lamb mixture into each shell.
  9. Using a small dollop, top each filled shell with the creamy mashed potatoes.
  10. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and the potato tops are lightly golden.
  12. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving.

Notes

For quick mashed potatoes, use leftovers. You can substitute lamb with ground beef or turkey.
