Another wintery meal for dinner over at my place. What I really like is how easy it is and it is nearly like another version of shepard's pie! The use of pumpkin adds to the sweetness and the pine nuts adds a lovely crunch to an otherwise boring dish!
We froze this and had it for dinner on a weeknight- the flavors are even better then.

1 kg of pumpkin chopped
500 grams of lamb minced

1/2 cup of milk

Meanwhile fry garlic and onion till soft. Add lamb mince and cook till it almost done. Add peas and all spices. Add a little water if needed. Cook till done (Around 10 minutes). Season. Spoon in casserole dish. Spoon mash pumpkin over it and sprinkle pine nuts. Bake for 30 minutes.
I like the use of pumpkin instead of mashed potatoes. Sure looks like a good eat. :)
