Method
Lamb
- Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Dust lamb in flour. Heat cooking oil in a large ovenproof casserole dish (with a lid) over medium-high heat. Brown lamb in batches and set aside in a bowl or dish to collect cooking juices.
- Add onion, garlic and carrot to casserole dish and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until onion is soft and translucent. Stir in tomato paste and cook for a few minutes. Add wine, stock concentrate, hot water, mushrooms and Moroccan seasoning and mix well to combine.
- Return lamb and juices to casserole and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Cover dish and cook in oven for 2 hours or until lamb is tender.
Carrots
- About 40 minutes before lamb has finished cooking, in a small baking dish add carrots, olive oil and Moroccan seasoning. Mix well to ensure carrots are completely coated then sprinkle over half of the orange zest.
- Place in oven alongside lamb and bake for 30–40 minutes, depending on thickness of carrots. Remove carrots and lamb from oven then increase heat to 200°C.
Potato
- While carrots are cooking, place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold salted water. Bring to the boil then reduce heat and simmer until just tender. Drain potatoes then pass through a potato ricer or mash with a potato masher.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add butter and cream and gently heat.
- Return mashed potato to element over medium heat. Add cream mixture and cook, stirring, until smooth and free of lumps.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper then set aside and keep warm.
Pastry
- Cut pastry in 6 x 15cm x 15cm squares and place on prepared baking tray. Brush with beaten egg then cook in oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Sauce
- Meanwhile, combine yoghurt and Moroccan seasoning. Transfer to a small serving bowl then top with remaining orange zest and cumin seeds.
To serve
- Arrange lamb casserole, mashed potato, blanched green peas, roasted carrots, yoghurt sauce and puff-pastry tops on a large board then get everyone to dig in and build their own deconstructed Moroccan pies.
