Instructions

Prep all ingredients: chop onion, carrots and measure out the mature cheddar.

Season the lamb shoulder with salt and pepper, then grill over medium-high heat until well browned, about 5 minutes.

Add onion, carrots to the pan and cook until softened, 4 minutes.

Stir in mature cheddar, thyme, gravy, malt vinegar and cook for another 1 minutes until fragrant.

Meanwhile, prepare the shortcrust pastry according to package instructions and set aside.

Combine everything in the pan, reduce heat, and let simmer for 19 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or a squeeze of citrus if needed.

Serve hot, over shortcrust pastry, garnished with fresh herbs.
