👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    ⏱️ 5 min (ish) 🌡️ 400°F
    AI Wisdom: Ensure the skillet is large enough to hold all ingredients.
  2. 2

    Add onions and garlic, sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

    ⏱️ 3 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. 3

    Add ground lamb, cook until browned, breaking up any clumps, about 5-7 minutes.

    ⏱️ 7 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Ensure lamb is fully cooked through.
  4. 4

    Stir in carrots, peas, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes.

    ⏱️ 5 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Adjust seasoning according to taste.
  5. 5

    Pour in broth, simmer until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

    ⏱️ 7 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: The filling should be moist but not watery.
  6. 6

    Transfer the filling to a baking dish. Spread mashed potatoes over the top, creating a rustic pattern with a fork.

    AI Wisdom: Create peaks with the fork for crispy edges.
  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.

    ⏱️ 25 min (ish) 🌡️ 400°F
    AI Wisdom: For extra crispy topping, broil for the last 2-3 minutes.
  8. 8

    Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly. Enjoy your delicious Rustic Shepherd's Pie!

    ⏱️ 10 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Resting ensures easier serving and better flavor melding.
