Shepherd’s Pie

The best shepherd’s pies start with a languorously simmered lamb stew, redolent with rosemary and a hint of garlic. Capped with creamy mashed potatoes, the topping becomes golden brown in the oven. If you have trouble finding boneless lamb shoulder, look for it at butcher shops that cater to Mediterranean cooks.
