Steps:
- Heat half the oil in a casserole pot over a medium-high heat and fry the lamb for 5-7 mins, or until deep brown all over. Cover with the stock, then add the cinnamon stick and bay leaf, and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 11/2 hrs, or until the lamb is tender and falling apart.
- Heat the remaining oil and the butter in a frying pan, then fry the onions with a large pinch of salt for 15-20 mins, or until golden and sticky. Add the garlic and spices, and cook for 3 mins more. Remove the lamb from its stewing liquid (reserving the liquid), transfer to a chopping board and shred using two forks. Stir the shredded meat into the onion mixture, along with 50ml of the reserved liquid.
- Put the spinach in a pan with 1 tbsp water, and cook for 3-4 mins, or until wilted. Wrap in a clean tea towel and squeeze out the excess liquid, or put in a fine sieve and press it out using the back of a wooden spoon. Roughly chop the spinach, then stir into the lamb and onion mixture along with the feta, mint, pine nuts and egg. Season.
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, and brush a 22cm round springform cake tin with some of the melted butter. Layer four sheets of filo pastry across the tin, then brush with more melted butter. Spoon in the filling, and fold the overhanging pastry over the top. Scrunch up the remaining pastry sheets, put on top of the pie, and brush with the remaining melted butter. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Bake for 45-50 mins, or until golden and crisp. Will keep in the fridge for up to up to two days.

BRAISED-LAMB SHANK SHEPHERD'S PIE WITH CREAMED SPINACH
Steps:
- Prepare lamb:
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Put lamb shanks in a large metal roasting pan, then rub with oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange onion wedges around lamb. Roast lamb in middle of oven 40 minutes. Turn shanks over, scatter with herb sprigs, and roast 40 minutes more.
- Pour wine, broth, and water into roasting pan. Cover pan tightly with foil and braise lamb until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer shanks to a plate and remove and discard skins from onions. Pour cooking liquid (including onions) into a large glass measure (do not clean roasting pan).
- Prepare potatoes and boil carrots while lamb roasts:
- Pierce each potato once with a fork and bake on rack in lower third of oven until cooked through, 45 to 50 minutes.
- Cool potatoes 10 minutes, then halve lengthwise and scoop out flesh. Force warm potatoes through ricer into a bowl. Stir in salt, milk, and pepper to taste.
- Cook carrots in boiling salted water until tender, about 10 minutes. Rinse under cold running water to stop cooking.
- Make gravy:
- Skim fat from cooking liquid (you'll have about 2 1/2 cups broth). Whisk together 1 cup broth and flour in a large bowl to make a thin paste, then whisk in remaining broth (including onions). Set roasting pan across 2 burners and pour broth mixture into pan. Boil over moderate heat, whisking, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
- Cut lamb meat from bones, then tear meat into bite-size pieces. Stir meat into gravy.
- Assemble and bake pie:
- Reduce oven to 350°F.
- Spoon lamb-shank mixture into a 12- by 3-inch oval gratin dish or a 2 1/2- to 3-quart shallow baking dish, spreading evenly. Scatter carrots over lamb, then top with creamed spinach, spreading evenly. Top spinach with mashed potatoes, spreading evenly to edges of dish to cover filling completely. Make swirl patterns on surface of potatoes with back of spoon, then drizzle with melted butter.
- Put baking dish in a foil-lined shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pan to catch drips and bake until top is golden and filling is bubbling, about 1 hour.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Combine the garlic, bay leaf, carrot, celery, onion and oil in a medium skillet and cook, covered, over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes. Push the vegetables to the perimeter of the pan and add the lamb. Increase the heat to high and cook, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon, until browned all over. Sprinkle with the mustard, 1 teaspoon of the salt and some pepper. Stir until fragrant, 1 minute, then add the tomato paste, fennel seeds and tomato puree and stir again. Cook for 1 minute more. Turn off the heat and stir in the mint and sage. Remove the bay leaf.
- Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover by 2 inches with salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Cook until a knife releases easily from the potatoes when pierced in the center, 12 to 15 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water and drain the potatoes. In the same pot, combine the milk, butter, and 1/2 cup of the cooking water and stir together over high heat. Bring to a boil. Mash the potatoes with a masher, then slowly drizzle the hot liquid over the potatoes and stir until light and fluffy. Taste and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the lamb mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch deep-dish pie plate, spreading it evenly over the bottom. Spoon the mashed potatoes over the top, covering completely. Use the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to create a swirled pattern in the potatoes. Bake until the topping turns golden in spots, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.

Stir through spinach and cook until wilted slightly then season to taste.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil and cook the potatoes until softened, about 15 mins. Drain and mash. Stir through the curry paste and yogurt, and serve alongside the curry.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Lightly grease a 8 1/2 in springform pan.
- Fry the mince and onion in a dry nonstick pan until golden.
- Add the garlic, tomatoes, mint, nutmeg and seasoning.
- Bring to the boil, and simmer, stirring occasionally until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Wash the spinach and remove any tough stalks, then cook the leaves in only the water clinging to them for about 2 minutes.
- Drain the leaves well and then mix through the meat mixture.
- I sometimes add 1/4 lb of crumbled feta at this stage.
- Lightly brush each sheet of phyllo pastry with oil and lay in overlapping layers in the tin, leaving enough over hanging to wrap over the top.
- Spoon the meat and spinach mix in then wrap the pastry over to enclose.
- Scrunch up any remaining pastry into balls, and place over the top of the pie.
- Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and then bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden.
- I like to let this cool a little, and serve it with a green salad.
SPICED LAMB PIE

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish. Toss the lamb in the flour with some seasoning, then brown it in the dish. Do this in batches so you don't overcrowd the dish (which will cause the meat to steam instead of fry). Take your time to build up a deep brown colour, which will add lots of meaty flavour to the stew. Set the meat aside on a plate as you go.
- Add the remaining oil to the dish along with the onion and garlic. Cook for 5 mins until softened, then stir in the spices, tomatoes, lemon zest and juice, honey and molasses. Fill the tomato can halfway with water, swill around and add this too. Season well, bring to a simmer and cover with a lid. Reduce the heat and cook for 2 hrs 30 mins-3 hrs or until the meat is tender. Leave to cool.
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Transfer the meat to a pie dish that's about 25cm wide, or leave it in the casserole if it's wide enough to fit the topping. Unwrap the filo and brush a sheet with butter, scrunch up and place on top of the pie. Continue with the remaining sheets until the tagine is covered. Drizzle any remaining butter over the top and scatter over the almonds, then bake for 45 mins or until the pastry is crisp and golden. Scatter over the pomegranate seeds just before serving.

- Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Put the lamb neck fillet in the baking dish with the red onion and garlic, season well with salt and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 45 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- Once cooled, chop the lamb into rough 2cm chunks and put in a large mixing bowl. Roughly chop the cooled onion, then add it to the lamb, along with the chopped garlic and cooked rice.
- Wilt the spinach in its bag in the microwave on high for a few minutes (or wilt spinach in batches in a large pan – add a few drops of water, cover and put over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes). Tip into a colander, then use a wooden spoon to press out as much liquid as possible from the spinach. Put the drained spinach in a clean J-cloth or tea towel, then squeeze out as much water as you can. Roughly chop the spinach, then add to the bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the filo, butter and sesame seeds) to the bowl and mix until well combined.
- Unroll the filo pastry on a clean work surface and brush one sheet at a time with the melted butter (keep the remaining pastry covered with cling film or a slightly damp tea towel). Layer 5 sheets in the base of the buttered ovenproof frying pan, allowing the sheets to overhang the edge of the pan, giving the pan a quarter-turn as you work so the sheets overlap slightly. Push each new sheet into the sides of the pan. Reserve the remaining 2 sheets of filo for the top.
