Clove, nutmeg and cinnamon you would usually associate with sweet cooking but when used in Shepherd’s pie it gives same incredible flavour to lamb mince. Also using yoghurt to add creaminess to your mash potato topping is a great healthier idea.

Zucchini

2 medium, chopped

Eggplant

1 medium, chopped

Garlic
