Introduction:
Welcome to Flavor and Taste Cooking, your trusted source for hearty and delicious recipes! Today, we're excited to share a timeless classic: Shepherd's Pie. This comforting dish features a rich meat filling topped with creamy mashed potatoes, perfect for cozy family dinners. Let's dive into the flavors of this beloved British comfort food
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground lamb (or beef for Cottage Pie)
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups mashed potatoes (prepared in advance or freshly made)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large skillet, cook the ground lamb over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
3. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in the tomato paste, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
5. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-10 minutes.
6. Stir in the peas and corn, then remove the skillet from the heat.
7. Spread the meat and vegetable mixture evenly in a baking dish.
8. Top with an even layer of mashed potatoes, spreading them to the edges to seal in the filling.
9. Brush the melted butter over the mashed potatoes to help them brown and crisp up in the oven.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
11. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
