🥘 Ingredients

The remains of any joint of cold roast mutton, 1 or 2 onions, 1 bunch of savoury herbs, pepper and salt to taste, 2 blades of pounded mace or nutmeg, 2 tablespoonfuls of gravy, mashed potatoes.

👨‍🍳 Method

Mince an onion rather fine, and fry it a light-brown colour; add the herbs and mutton, both of which should be also finely minced and well mixed; season with pepper and salt, and a little pounded mace or nutmeg, and moisten with the above proportion of gravy. Put a layer of mashed potatoes at the bottom of a dish, then the mutton, and then another layer of potatoes, and bake for about 1/2 hour.

This one hit different

I tried this recipe after a long day, craving something that would warm my soul and my belly. I had a hunk of leftover lamb in the fridge, and this recipe seemed like the perfect way to use it up. I found myself humming along as I minced and fried, the kitchen filling with a comforting aroma that transported me to another time. The surprise came when I added the mace — a spice I don't often use. It lent a subtle, warm note that elevated the dish from simple to special. This is a perfect weeknight comfort food for those of us who want to feel nurtured after a long day. The combination of crispy, savory top potatoes, soft, herbaceous lamb, and the gentle heat from the mace is simply delightful. Serve it with a side of steamed greens or crusty bread, and you'll have a meal that's as satisfying as it is easy to make. I will definitely be making this again, perhaps with a glass of red wine to complete the experience.
