Shepherd’s Pie is unquestionably consolation meals. We within the West aren’t actually in consolation meals “season” but, however to be sincere, that is a type of dishes that my household eats 12 months-spherical, as a result of it’s simply tasty and by no means fails to hit the spot.
I believe each household has their very own spin on what ought to go into this dish (my mother, for instance, solely ever had meat, the mash topping, and often some cheese), however some Shepherd’s Pie staples are floor meat of some variety, carrot, peas, and possibly potatoes. I’ve seen loads of recipes that decision for gravy mixtures, and others that comprise Worcestershire. Some of us, like mama, add cheese to the highest, others don’t. All-in-all, I believe this dish is so primary that it could possibly truthfully comprise no matter you need.
My aim on this model was to create one thing that hit a lot of the “standard” notes. Ground meat, a savory sauce (with some complimentary herbs, and liquid smoke to supply one thing akin to umami), a number of compliant, chunky veggies combined in to supply some texture, and a creamy mashed topping.
All these important containers are checked!
Notes: If you needed to play with completely different floor meats, like floor lamb for example, be at liberty. You might change up a number of the veg, too, by including some diced daikon radish or turnip, however remember that adjustments the carb rely. If you’ve an herb mix you actually like, be at liberty to make use of it. My solely seasoning advice is to make sure you maintain the liquid smoke and the black pepper. The taste merely isn’t fairly proper with out them.
