Ingredient:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 pounds lean ground lamb
  • 1 onion, diced
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 ½ cups water, or as needed
  • 1 (12 ounce) package frozen peas and carrots, thawed
  • 2 ½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and halved
  • ¼ pound Irish cheese (such as Dubliner), shredded
  • ¼ cup cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pinch ground cayenne pepper
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons milk
