Add the herbs, tomato paste, worcestershire sauce and vegetable stock.

Bring to boil and simmer covered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the sweetcorn and peas, stir through and remove from stove.

Pour the meat mixture into a casserole dish and spread evenly.

Top with mashed potatoes and bake in oven 190C/375F until potatoes are golden.

 

Mashed Potatoes-

If you are going to pipe the potatoes, spread a thin layer of mashed potatoes over the lamb filling before piping (This will seal the gravy from coming up inbetween the piped potatoes).
