Naughty’s Keema Shepherd’s Pie
Serves 6
A dish where Naughty Boy takes quintessentially British dishes and gives them a ‘naughty kick’. When Naughty Boy brought this dish to The Lorraine Show, she was left speechless after one bite and wanted to save the rest for dinner.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
- Slightly roast cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil (use rapeseed if making a vegan version)
- 3 red onions
- 1 teaspoon of turmeric
- 1 teaspoon chilli powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon freshly grounded garam masala
- Handful of chopped coriander
- 1kg lamb or chicken mince (meatless option for vegan version)
- 5 large potatoes for mash
- 1 large potato to be sliced
- 2 tablespoons of single cream or milk
- 1 tablespoon of crushed garlic* (if you can’t use fresh, would recommend using frozen over jar alternative)
MAKE IT THE NAUGHTY WAY
- Roast 1 tablespoon of cumin seeds on fry pan for roughly 30 seconds
- Add 2 tablespoons of combined butter and olive oil (rapeseed for vegans)
- Slice the onions (long ways)
- Add the onions in the fry pan
- Sautée them for 15 minutes on medium heat
- As they’re turning brown, add in the 1 tablespoon crushed garlic and 1 tablespoon ginger
- After a minute, add in minced meat
- Shallow-fry the meat and onions until meat is visibly ready/done
- Add in the finely chopped Roma tomatoes and your veggie (peas/carrots) and green chilli
- Add in the following spices:
- 1 teaspoon of turmeric
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- Keep mixing for 20 minutes on the medium heat
- Turn the heat down to low
- Add in the freshly grounded garam masala and the handful of chopped coriander
- Let that simmer for 5 minutes
- Turn the plate off, and leave that to the side, as we will start preparing the mashed potatoes
- Boil your 6 large potatoes
- Mash the 5/6 potatoes
- Add in single cream or milk and 1 teaspoon of butter (if vegan friendly, don’t add these in – or use canned coconut milk)
