2. 2Heat oil in a large pan and brown ground lamb with chopped onion and carrots, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
3. 3Stir in tomato paste and a splash of Worcestershire sauce, cooking for a minute to deepen the flavor.
4. 4Pour in stock and simmer the mixture for about 15 minutes, until it thickens into a rich gravy.

6. 6Spread the meat filling evenly into a baking dish.
7. 7Spoon the mashed potatoes over the top, spreading them to the edges and roughing up the surface with a fork so it crisps nicely.
