}}
This is my take on shepherds' pie which I am topping with Purple Majesty [[Potatoes|potatoes]]. My wife wears a lot of purple and she is a bit hippy-ish, hence the name. Do not be alarmed however, at the use of [[Hemp seed oil|hemp seed oil]]. Although it comes from the [[Seeds|seeds]] of ''Cannabis sativa'', the [[Oil|oil]] does not contain the psychoactive contents of the plant. Looks weird, but tastes delicious!

===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Heat a little [[Olive oil|olive oil]] in a saucepan to [[Smoking|smoking]] point.
| Add the [[Mutton|mutton]] and cook until the juices have evaporated and the [[Meat|meat]] has begun to caramelise.
| Transfer the [[Mutton|mutton]] into a deep [[Oven|oven]]-proof dish.
| Using the same pan, heat a little [[Hemp seed oil|hemp seed oil]] and reduce the heat to medium.
| Add the [[Celery|celery]] and [[Carrots|carrots]] and cook until they are beginning to colour and soften.
| Stir in the [[Onion|onion]] and [[Peppers|peppers]], adding more [[Hemp seed oil|hemp seed oil]] if necessary, and cook for about until they, too, are soft, stirring from time to time
| Add the [[Garlic|garlic]] and [[Fry|fry]] for 2-3 minutes - do not allow it to burn.
| Mix the [[Vegetables|vegetables]] with the [[Mutton|mutton]] and season to taste.
| Still using the same saucepan, heat the [[Stock|stock]], tomatoe purée and [[Worcestershire sauce]].
| Put the [[Cornflour|cornflour]] in a mug or jug and add some hot [[Stock|stock]] to it, a little at a time, stirring until you have a thick, smooth paste.
| Add a little more [[Stock|stock]] to it, stir, and pour into the saucepan with the rest of the stock.
| Tip the [[Mutton|mutton]] and [[Vegetable|vegetable]] into the [[Stock|stock]], reduce the heat and [[Simmer|simmer]], partially covered, for 10-15, stirring occasionally.
| The [[Stock|stock]] should be fairly thick.
| Pour back into the [[Oven|oven]]-proof dish and allow to cool completely.
| Meanwhile, [[Boil|boil]] the [[Potatoes|potatoes]] in unsalted water until the are cooked - about 20 minutes.
| Preheat the [[Oven|oven]] to 140° C (257° F - gas 1)
| Drain the [[Potatoes|potatoes]] in a [[Colander|colander]], place the colander on a metal tray and put in the [[Oven|oven]] to dry out for about 15-20 minutes.
| [[Mash]] or rice the [[Potatoes|potatoes]], gradually incorporating the hot [[Milk|milk]], [[Butter|butter]], [[Oil|oil]] and [[Egg yolk|egg yolk]].
| Allow to cool competely.
| Using a palette knife, spread the [[Potato|potato]] mixture over the [[Mutton|mutton]],
| Run a fork, which has been dipped in [[Milk|milk]], over the top of the [[Potato|potato]] to make a pattern.
| [[Bake]] at 200° C (400° F - gas 6) for 10 minutes, reduce the heat to 180° C (350° F - gas 4) and bake for a further 30 minutes.

===Variations===
Of course, you can use whatever [[Mashing|mashing]] [[Potatoes|potatoes]], [[Vegetables|vegetables]] and [[Oil|oil]] you like.
The [[Garlic|garlic]] quantity may seem large, but it will not be overpowering. I would have added more, but I couldn't be bothered to peel more than one bulb.

Use [[lamb]] or [[beef]] instead of [[mutton]].

Substitute some of the [[stock]] with red [[wine]].
===Chef's notes===
Purple Majesty [[potatoes]] are available from branches of '''[http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/sol/index.jsp Sainsbury's].'''

Hemp seed oil is available in large branches of the main supermarkets or direct from '''[http://www.goodwebsite.co.uk/index.php Good Website]'''
