Preheat oven to 400℉.
Steam potatoes for 20 minutes. Drain and place in the bowl of your food processor fitted with the large chopping blade. Add coconut milk, 2 tblsp. butter, 2 teaspoons of salt and a dash of pepper. Process until fluffy and set aside.
6-7 large potatoes, 1/2 cup coconut milk, dash of pepper
Heat oil in a large skillet. Add onion and carrot and cook on low heat for 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add ground lamb and stir over a medium heat, breaking up meat with a spatula for 5 more minutes.
2 tablespoons coconut oil, 1 onion, 1 carrot, 4 cloves garlic, 3 pounds ground lamb
Drain lamb mixture. Pour in stock, Red boat, and add tomato paste, 1 teaspoon of salt, and nutmeg. Stir. Simmer until thickened for 5 minutes.
1 tablespoon tomato paste, 1 tablespoon Red Boat, 1 cup chicken stock, dash of nutmeg
Spoon into a 2 quart casserole dish. Spoon the mashed potatoes around the top. Dot the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter around the potatoes.

I used coconut oil, but you can use extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil if you prefer
For the coconut milk I use in this recipe, I recommend Native Forest that is organic, certified gluten-free, and canned with non-BPA packaging. Native Forest doesn’t add any extra sugar or sweeteners, just pure coconut goodness. There is also a “light” variety that should also work beautifully with this recipe.
If dairy agrees with you, milk can be used instead of coconut milk.
Many shepherd's pie recipes call for Worcestershire sauce which I switched out for Red Boat. All of Red Boat’s products are gluten-free as they do not contain wheat or wheat by-products and are produced in a gluten free facility. The ingredients are quite simple: just anchovy and sea salt.
Leftover shepherd's pie can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Make sure to let it cool down to room temperature before storing it in an airtight container to maintain its freshness.If you'd like to store it for a longer period, you can freeze it. To freeze leftover shepherd's pie, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil or place it in a freezer-safe container. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To reheat, you can either bake it in the oven (recommended for a crispy top) or reheat in the microwave. If reheating from frozen, it's best to let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
