This cottage pie brings shawarma flavours into a classic baked comfort dish. The lamb cooks with warm spices, vegetables, and a slow-reducing base that forms a deep, savoury layer. A smooth potato mash seals the top, turning golden in the oven while keeping the filling juicy underneath. It’s a cosy, fragrant meal made for relaxed evenings.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Build the Base

Warm the olive oil in a large pan and scatter in the chopped onions. Let them soften until they lose their raw edge and turn lightly golden. Add the garlic and sauté briefly, just until the aroma rises. Fold in the lamb and break it apart gently so it browns evenly without forming clumps.
