Paleo Shepherds Pie

Paleo Shepherd's Pie

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
1 med yellow onion, diced
2 carrots, peeled and finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds ground lamb, beef or any meat-I used lean beef
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon tomato paste (I used sun dried tomato pesto)
1 cup beef or chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
3 egg whites
Mashed Cauliflower (recipe coming soon)
paprika to garnish

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
Heat skillet over med-high heat about 3 min.  Add coconut oil and allow to melt, add onion and carrot, reduce heat to med-low and cover.  Allow veggies to get soft but not brown, about 5 min.

Add garlic to pan and stir, about 1 min.   Crumble the ground meat into the pan (I used my hands). Saute until it's cooked through and brown, about 5-10 mins.  Add salt and pepper.

Add tom paste, broth, rosemary and thyme to pan.  Stir then bring to a boil and simmer uncovered until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 mins.  Set the pan aside and let it cool for 10-15 mins.  Scramble egg whites until frothy and blend unto the meat mixture.

Put meat mixture into baking dish.  Add mashed cauliflower on to the top of meat. Top with paprika.

Bake for 25-30 mins until the top browns.

ENJOY!
