Shepherd's Pie with Cauliflower Mash
Yes, with a tweak: confirm cauliflower mash topping. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Irish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A comforting individual pie featuring savory minced lamb cooked in a rich, herb-infused gravy, topped with a creamy, buttery cauliflower mash instead of traditional potato. Peas and carrots are omitted or strictly minimized in the lamb filling to reduce carb content.
Key ingredients
Minced lamb, cauliflower, butter, heavy cream, onion (minimized), garlic, celery, beef broth, tomato paste (minimal amount for depth), Worcestershire sauce (minimal amount), fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm cauliflower mash topping. Ask for no peas or carrots in the lamb filling. Ensure no flour or starch is used to thicken the gravy. Confirm minimal or no tomato paste and no added sugar in the sauce, and minimal Worcestershire sauce.
Watch out for
Potato mash topping, flour/starch thickeners in gravy, high-carb vegetables in filling (peas, carrots), excessive tomato paste, hidden sugars in Worcestershire sauce or broth.
