Boil chopped potatoes and swede for 10-15 mins until soft. Drain them and mash with butter and milk. Kids make great mashers!
In another pan add olive oil and fry the onion until golden and soft.
Add the lamb mince and brown for 8-10 mins. Reduce temperature and add carrots, leeks, green beans and Worcestershire sauce.
When the carrots are soft, season with salt and pepper and pour into oven-proof dish.
