  • 500g lamb mince
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 onions

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 200g of button or chestnut mushrooms
  • 800g Maris Piper potatoes
  • 1 x cup of zontes hills are alive shiraz
  • 200ml Cream
  • 50g cheese

Method:

  1. Pour a glass of Zonte’s Footstep Hills Are Alive Shiraz (sip whilst cooking!)
  2. Heat butter in pan and add diced carrots and onions until browned and softened, then grate lemon zest over the top. Sprinkle flour over the vegetable mix and stir for a minute or so.
  3. Add the lamb mince and brown, add bay leaves, thyme, and crumbled chicken stock cube.
  4. Pour in cup of red wine until all is covered and bring to the boil. Leave to simmer for around an hour with a lid on slightly askew. Stir occasionally. When this is done cooking add the mushrooms and cream, season to taste then bring back to the boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
