Hi all! Wow! This is why I come to you guys for help. All suggestions sound great! I’m not a fan of defrosting meat int he microwave as it doesn’t do it gradually and I always think that’s risky, but may be I’ll get brave enough some day. Can’t use the pasta option as I’m off flour till the end of Lent. I had made it up to eat over spaghetti squash. It wasn’t bad, but not spicy enough for my caribbean palate.
Apart from that, I’ll give it a whirl; in Barbados, we call it shepherd’s pie even though its made with beef. We don’t often use lamb in these kind of dishes as lamb isprimarily served in stews or as chops. Thanks again. Happy cooking!
