Boil a pot of water and add cauliflower and a few cloves of garlic.

Boil for 7-8 minutes until the cauliflower is tender but not waterlogged.

Drain the cauliflower and garlic, then transfer to a blender.

Add about half a stick of butter and a pinch of salt to the blender with the cauliflower and garlic.

Blend until smooth, checking for seasoning and adding more cheese and salt if needed.

Preheat a 12.5-inch enameled cast iron pan and drizzle in some extra virgin olive oil.

Add chopped green peppers, onions, celery, and carrots to the pan with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Cook the vegetables until softened, then add the ground lamb and season with salt and pepper.

Use a meat masher to break up the lamb as it cooks.

Once the lamb is halfway cooked, add 2.5 teaspoons of tomato paste and 1.5 tablespoons of tamari soy sauce.

Add about 1/4 cup of bone broth and mix well until it resembles a ragu.

Flatten the meat mixture in the pan and pour the cauliflower mash over the top, spreading it to the edges.

Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then broil for the last 5 minutes until bubbly.

Let the shepherd's pie rest for 30-40 minutes before serving.
