Notes

Top Tips to make Lamb and Sausage Pie

Brown the lamb VERY well  because that adds flavour.
Use bone on lamb shoulder and remove it from the bone later on. This makes for the most tender succulent meat.

Variations

Shortcrust Pastry - I have tried it with a shortcrust pastry before but it isn't as flavourful. I have also tried to do the bottom of the pie as shortcrust and the top with puff pastry but again it just isn't as delicious.
Mushrooms - This pie works wonderfully well with mushrooms thrown in.
Herbs - Feel free to add herbs such as rosemary or thyme.
