Categories: Dinner, Pies
     Yield: 1 Pie

     1 tb Butter; up to 3 tb, to
          -taste, for mashed potatoes
     1 c  Milk; for mashed potatoes
     1 lg Onion; chopped
     4 cl Garlic; up to 6, minced
 1 1/2 lb Ground lamb
     1 c  Peas; fresh or frozen
     1 c  Green beans; chopped into
          -1/4" sections
     3 lg Carrots; cut into small
          -cubes
 1 1/2 c  Mushrooms; roughly chopped
     2 ts Dried thyme
     2 ts Fresh rosemary; finely
          -chopped -OR-
     2 ts Dried rosemary
   1/4 c  Flat-leaf parsley; finely
          -chopped
   1/2 c  Dry red wine
   1/4 c  Flour
          Salt and pepper; to taste
          Sweet paprika; for garnish

 Preheat oven to 350 F.

 Chop potatoes into large pieces (if you prefer, you can peel them
 first) and boil in heavily salted water until tender.

 Drain and mash, adding 1 cup milk and 1 to 2 tb of butter until the
 desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper to taste
 and set aside.

 In a large pot, saute onion and garlic in a small amount of butter or
 olive oil over medium high heat for approximately 5 minutes.

 Add lamb and saute until browned.

 Add all vegetables and herbs and cook, stirring frequently, for
 another 10 minutes or until the vegetables have softened and browned
 slightly, but still have some crunch to them.

 Add red wine and cook for a few minutes more, or until the wine has
 mostly evaporated. Taste and season with salt and pepper as necessary.

 Stir flour into lamb and vegetable mixture, mixing well, and then
 pour into a 9x13" baking dish, or a couple of smaller square baking
 dishes. Level with the back of a spatula or spoon and then spread
 mashed potatoes on top in a fairly thick, even layer (you may end up
 with some left over, depending on the depth of your baking dish).
 Drag the tines of a fork across the top of the mashed potatoes in a
 straight or swirled pattern to create tiny ridges (these will get
 nicely browned when it bakes), then sprinkle with paprika.

 Bake at 350 F for 30-40 minutes and enjoy!
