    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
    2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat. Add the lamb, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon and fry for 5 mins until starting to crisp. Add the onion and fry for a further 5 mins before adding the garlic, cumin, cinnamon and tomato purée. Cook for 2 mins until fragrant. Mix in the stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 mins until reduced by half. Stir through the peas and the coriander, saving a little to garnish, and season to taste.
    3. Meanwhile, bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Add the sweet potato and simmer for 15 mins until soft. Drain, return to the pan and mash with a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
    4. Spoon the lamb filling into a small ovenproof dish and top with the sweet potato. Place on a baking tray and bake for 25 mins until golden and bubbling.
    5. After the shepherd’s pie has been cooking for 15 mins, place the broccoli in a steamer and cook for 10 mins until bright green and tender.
    6. Serve the shepherd’s pie with the broccoli, sprinkled with the remaining coriander.
