- Title: Shepherd's Pie
- Categories: Main dish Meats Pies
- Servings: 6 MM#: 506
-
- 1 lb Beef / lamb / veal & pork * 5 oz Chopped onion
- 3 T Butter or oil 3 x Cloves garlic, (peel, chop)
- 1 1/4 c Stock / gravy / meat jelly 1 t Flour or cornstarch
- 1 x Tomato paste 1 T Worcester sauce, or
- 1 1/2 t Wine vinegar 1 x Thyme, salt, pepper, Cayenne
- 2 lb Potatoes 1 c Milk (about)
- 3 oz Butter 1 T Grated dry cheddar
- 1 T Grated parmesan
-
- * Mixed. -- Chop, process or mince the meat. Cook onion in the fat until
- soft. Add the meat and garlic, stirring well; then raise the heat so that
- the meat browns. Turn it over in large sections with a spatula, so that it
- browns all over. Pour off any surplus fat. Add some of the liquid and
- bubble gently for 5 minutes. Sprinkle on flour or cornstarch, stir again
- and add the remaining liquid. Let it bubble to a rich sauce, adding the
- various flavorings to taste. -- Meanwhile scrub, boil and peel the
- potatoes. Set aside a couple and slice them thinly. Mash the rest with the
- milk and butter, seasoning to taste. Put the meat into a shallow dish.
- Spread the mashed potato on top and, with the slices, make a ring around
- the edge. Scatter the cheese over, and brown under the broiler at a
- moderate heat, or at the top of a hot oven. Once the dish looks an
- appetizing golden color, it can wait a while in a low oven without coming
- to any harm.
