Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2
Place the canola oil into a 12-inch sauté pan and set it over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the onion and carrots and sauté just until they begin to take on color, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to combine. Add the lamb, salt, and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 3 minutes. Sprinkle the meat with the flour and toss to coat, continuing to cook for another minute. Add the tomato paste, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, and thyme, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer slowly for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
3
For the potatoes, peel and boil them. Once they are tender, which takes about 10–15 minutes of boiling, remove them from the water. Add all the ingredients and mix just until smooth. If you prefer, you can run the potatoes through a potato ricer for a smoother texture.
4
Add the corn and peas to the lamb mixture and spread evenly into an 11x7-inch glass baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes, starting around the edges to create a seal to prevent the mixture from bubbling up, and smooth with a rubber spatula. Place the dish on a parchment-lined half-sheet pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or just until the potatoes begin to brown. Remove to a cooling rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
