Whitechapel Shepherd's Pie is a classic British comfort food that originated in Yorkshire and was traditionally made with leftover roasted meat and mashed potato topping. It's a hearty and flavorful meal that's perfect for a cold winter night. This recipe features ground lamb and delicious vegetables like celery, carrots, parsnip, and rutabaga. The lamb is cooked with tomato sauce, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper until the flavor is absorbed, while the mashed potatoes provide a creamy and filling topping. The dish is finished with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor and texture.

1.Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground lamb until browned. Drain the excess fat and set aside.
3.In the same skillet, cook onion and garlic until golden brown. Add celery, carrots, parsnip, and rutabaga, cook until tender, about 7 minutes.
4.Add browned lamb, tomato sauce, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook until the liquid has reduced, about 10 minutes. Stir in peas.
5.Spoon the lamb mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the lamb mixture.
6.Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the mashed potatoes.
7.Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
