Instructions
  1. Place the pecans in the food processor until nuts are finely ground. Pour in a small mixing bowl.
  2. Pour the cracker crumbs into another small bowl (I also first ground them in the food processor)
  3. Place flour, baking powder, and cinnamon in a third small bowl and stir together.
  4. Put the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat until the mixture looks pale yellow and creamy. Break the egg into the batter and add the vanilla; mix until smooth. Add the ground nuts and cracker crumbs and mix until blended.
  5. Add the flour mixture 1/2 cup at a time and mix on low speed until blended after each addition. Scrape the sides of the bowl clean with the rubber spatula and cover the bowl with a piece of plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  6. Place an oven rack in the center of the over and pre-heat at 350 degrees
  7. Sprinkle a little flour on a clean kitchen surface. Break the dough in half and place 1/2 on the flour. Press the dough lightly with your hands, then sprinkle a little more flour over the top. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough 1/4 inch thick.
  8. Press out hearts using 2 1/2 inch heart shaped cookie cutter. Press out as many hearts as possible, gathering up the remaining dough so that it can be rerolled. Do the same thing with the other half of the dough.
  9. Slide a spatula underneath the cookies and place them on a cookie sheet. Count how many you have. Press a round circle in the center of 1/2 of the cookies, using a 1 1/2 inch round cookie cutter.
  10. Bake cookies until they turn golden brown, about 10 minutes. When done, transfer to a cooling rack.
  11. While the cookies are cooling, place the jam and water in a saucepan and heat on medium low until the water and jam are completely blended.
  12. Put each heart cookie with a hole on top of a cookie without a hole. Put a spoonful of jam inside each hole. As the cools it will hold the cookies together.
  13. Sprinkle with confectionary sugar
Recipe Notes

Healey Notes:

  1. You can use any size cookie cutters you like
  2. The dough is much easier to work with when cold
  3. We made the dough a day in advance
  4. We used (and actually mixed together) whatever jams we had in the house

Instructions
  1. Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch dice. Place in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Set over high heat, cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, uncover, decrease the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until tender and easily crushed with tongs, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Place the half-and-half and butter into a microwave-safe container and heat in the microwave until warmed through, about 35 seconds. Drain the potatoes in a colander and then return to the saucepan. Mash the potatoes and then add the half and half, butter, salt and pepper and continue to mash until smooth. Stir in the yolk until well combined.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  3. While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the filling. Place the canola oil into a 12-inch saute pan and set over medium high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the onion and carrots and saute just until they begin to take on color, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to combine. Add the lamb, salt and pepper and cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 3 minutes. Sprinkle the meat with the flour and toss to coat, continuing to cook for another minute. Add the tomato paste, chicken broth, Worcestershire, rosemary, thyme, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer slowly 10 to 12 minutes or until the sauce is thickened slightly.
  4. Add the corn and peas to the lamb mixture and spread evenly into an 11 by 7-inch glass baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes, starting around the edges to create a seal to prevent the mixture from bubbling up and smooth with a rubber spatula. Place on a parchment lined half sheet pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25 minutes or just until the potatoes begin to brown. Remove to a cooling rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
