He shallow frys it in a frying pan with a table spoon of oil until its hot throughout and has some crispy edges then has it on a sandwich. He's done this for as long as I've known him, its a sort of ritual whenever I make a shepherds pie or a cottage pie. LOL
@@Kitchensanctuary Ill have to try that out one day!!! BTW love your channel, up until last March I could just about fry an egg and heat up a ready meal!. Since following your channel and Marions kitchen i've taught myself how to cook pretty well and can now make so many dishes!!!. Thank you!!! xx
You're so welcome. Chris and I LOVE what we do and this story makes it all worth while. Thank you so much, we're so pleased your enjoying making our recipes. PS. Marion is great isn't she :)
@@ol-Sean-lo i've always loved food and started thinking to myself, how can I be a foodie and not know how to cook, deffo an important skill to have and is now a passion of mine. Lockdown was the best time to better myself and learn a couple of life skills.
Greetings from Palm Springs, California! Love this lady...no nonsense instructions, precise methodology, great results. Who could ask for anything more?
If you dont have cornflour, my mum just used to sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of flour over the minced lamb then add the stock slowly to make a thicker sauce. This is an absolute winner of a recipe, I love shepherd's pie!
Brilliant. We are making frozen meals to give to families in need. Gonna use this in those oven safe containers and family will be blessed with deliciousness. Thanks!
Love this recipe! I added sweetcorn and peas to it to help boost the veggies! Tasted just epic and was great to make as part of a meal prep for about 4-5 days!
Ms Nikki, impressive. You said - the difference between shepherds pie and cottage pie is the type of meat used. I love cottage pie! Thank you from the good state of North Carolina 😊
Wow! This is so delicious. I cooked the cottage pie version (using beef) for me and my son who is back home from college! It has been cold in the past few days, and the timing was perfect for this pie. I used half the ingredients, to make a smaller batch and it turned out great! Thank you Nicky. I now have the notifications turned on so I do not miss your other recipes.
Shepherd's pie,cottage pie,Cumberland pie,love them all,real childhood favourite takes me back to being a small boy and my Nan's shepherd's or cottage pie made from the leftover of a Sunday roast joint,which she minced,definitely one of the best comfort foods.
I’ve made this 3 times for my family. I’ve never cooked prior to covid-19. We can’t eat beef (dad is Hindu) so I used lamb mince, and I put some curry powder on the uncooked lamb to remove the gamey taste lamb has. It turned out really well! They love it.
I make loads of your stuff ,you are like my internet mam in the kitchen .Thanks for sharing your way around the kitchen .Im an expat so always looking for my tea or snack to still feel at home
I love that this recipe is what I would call traditional, that I remember from when I was growing up, i.e. no garlic, herbs or any type of tomato product - I think once you add these ingredients you're really in pasta sauce territory and a different meal entirely!!
Dear Ms Nikki.Thank you so much.I felt like a queen chef this evening! I have two for supper who are very particular about their meals...especially dubious about new recipes...Well one commented 'Outstanding' and the other 'Spectacular ' Thank you very much.l have clicked like and subscribed and look forward to trying out other recipes from you.I am well chuffed...my lot are not so easily pleased!!! That was a RESULT 😊
We always use left-over roast joint minced with carrots and onions. Add gravy then top with mashed potato with a generous topping of grated cheese before browning under the grill. We had swineherds' pie today.
Greetings from California in the U.S. Scotland. Your beautiful country is most definitely on my bucket list. The first thing I’m going to try is Haggis, YES! It looks wonderful.😁
Always add mature cheese to the mash and red wine to the meat and allow it to simmer for 45 minutes, before thickening , but each to their own. Love the recipe ideas guys, keep it up
As always your videos are fun to watch., many thanks. If I may add one small comment, After i place the meat in the dish I put it in the freezer for 30 minutes. This thickens the sauce, and stops it bleeding up through the mash potatoes when you add them.
I don't think you'll ever get people to change from their family recipe - it is never as good without that nostalgia taste. My family have always caramelised a sweet chutney in ours.
I’ve made this recipe countless times, it’s amazing! I added a bit more of the veggies the last time, and I’m excited to see the end result! Thanks again!
Just making this. I added garlic and mint to the mince, along with corn and peas as well as the veg in the recipe. It smells so good. Just gone into the oven. THANK YOU!
Hi Nicky, I love all your recipes. This shepherds pie was delicious after I made it acc to your instuctions. Thank you. And those "Cornish pies" was just yummy.
Can't beat good old-fashioned stalwarts like shepherd's pie (and other great British recipes). On a cold autumn or winter's day, it's comfort food to brighten up the short days and warm the cockles of your heart!
I absolutely adore your channel my friend bless her heart has a hard time in the kitchen so i cook for her and these are so super easy recipies im sure she can follow ^.^
I really enjoy watching you cook and your meal so always looks so delicious and tasty I to love frying in a drop of oil left overs served on toast lol have a good week ahead.
I just moved into a new building and word got around that I make decent food (I'm a terrible cook btw!) So now I've being forced to make a shepherds pie, happy to have found this video.
Wonderful video. Might try half amount version, so what size baking dish are you using there? And what size dish would be okay for a half size version? Many thanks!
I'm from the north of England where we believe everything is better between 2 slices of bread or wrapped in pastry and if it's wrapped in pastry you can put it between 2 slices of bread.
Yay 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽so so happy u did a Shepard’s pie recipe! I’m looking forward to trying it for my family tomorrow! Love love your meals, my whole family does! They honestly get so excited when I say I’m cooking a kitchen sanctuary recipe. Thank you X
Made a slight adaptation to the constituent parts but maintained the methodology..... called it 'Coward's Pie'...... Yes !..... because I used chicken mince. Love the straight in and no BS....many thanks. Regards from sunny Spain.
Well done you know your onion its great to see someone who is proper any room for tea plus your hubby is great with a pukka idea you family be safe my your god Go with you kev kevkev kev kev
Nicky, this one looks so delicious and satisfying😋!!! I think I need to invest in a potato ricer though. One question for you though: what exactly are the type of potato's you used? Thank you Nicky🤗. I think Chris's leftover idea is the way to go!!!
When making Celery, onions and Carrots, I use a cheese grater then chop of any awkward bits because I am lazy and like to do things stupidly quick lol. Saw frozen C C & O in tescos other day, might just buy that this week lol
How does chris fry up the left overs?, pan fried, deep fried? curious to know.
He shallow frys it in a frying pan with a table spoon of oil until its hot throughout and has some crispy edges then has it on a sandwich. He's done this for as long as I've known him, its a sort of ritual whenever I make a shepherds pie or a cottage pie. LOL

This is a well done video. Thank you for not taking 40 minutes to show us how to make a pie.
One of my favourite RUclips cooking channel. Quick, clear, simple but delicate creative food.
Love this recipe! I added sweetcorn and peas to it to help boost the veggies! Tasted just epic and was great to make as part of a meal prep for about 4-5 days!

Shepard’s Shepard sheep, that’s one way to remember it.
Thank you for the wonderful presentation - love all your videos - you present everything so beautifully - cheers from Canada

Wat a magic meal. I av never cooked a shephards pie. First time. All my neighbours loved it. Thanx
Great video and recipe. Thanks for including Fahrenheit temperature and cups
I’ve grown to love adding a couple teaspoons of Dijon mustard in the mash to give it a little extra.
Love the recipe
Interesting addition I'll have to give that a try
Shepherd's pie,cottage pie,Cumberland pie,love them all,real childhood favourite takes me back to being a small boy and my Nan's shepherd's or cottage pie made from the leftover of a Sunday roast joint,which she minced,definitely one of the best comfort foods.
It's lovely with steak pieces 😋🧩

Adding curry is a great idea
Just found this channel. Quick no fuss menu's, just what I like, thanks from Somerset.
I just made this and it turned out Great! Good tip about using the slotted spoon so there is no need to make extra gravy. Thank you 👏
Fast becoming my favourite cooking channel. Thank you.

Curried shepherds pie using your recipe is also very good.

Great idea!!
We call it Monday pie. ( after Sunday lunch ) 😊👍🇬🇧
An all time comfort food indeed..looks delicious 🤗 I like to brush melted butter on the mash topping before putting it the oven 😋
Sounds great!
That looks brilliant 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland ♥️ Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
Thank you! You too!
Greetings from California in the U.S. Scotland. Your beautiful country is most definitely on my bucket list. The first thing I’m going to try is Haggis, YES! It looks wonderful.😁
WOW! That is going in my big American belly. Thank you. 😊
Im going to cook this next weekend for my friends. It's winter down under so they are gonna love the warmth in their bellies. Thanks guys x
Thanks a lot from a grateful Northern lad now residing in South Carolina, USA!
I will be eating this tonight with red wine! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Always add mature cheese to the mash and red wine to the meat and allow it to simmer for 45 minutes, before thickening , but each to their own.
Love the recipe ideas guys, keep it up
To this full recipe 120g cheddar, FINELY grated, to the mash, and another 40g on top. And six garlics, and double the salt and pepper.
As always your videos are fun to watch., many thanks. If I may add one small comment, After i place the meat in the dish I put it in the freezer for 30 minutes. This thickens the sauce, and stops it bleeding up through the mash potatoes when you add them.
Interesting tip thanks for sharing and so glad you like our videos :)
Another lovely recipe, I added a clove of minced garlic to the onion, it added a little to the lovely flavour
I made a batch of these, and am eating the last one tonight. My late mother in law put baked beans at the bottom, which made for moisture.
I don't think you'll ever get people to change from their family recipe - it is never as good without that nostalgia taste. My family have always caramelised a sweet chutney in ours.
Love that, Its very true everyone has their family favourite recipes :)
Yank here. I appreciate you also giving measurements in "freedom units" as Perun says.
I put a little rosemary in mine and tbsp tomatoe purée in the meat veg at beginning
Sounds interesting, I'll give that a go. Rosemary does work really well with lamb 😋
@@kdotwilly7935 with cottage pie I would use thyme personally. And yes tomato
Purée also but cook it out to get rid of the rawness
Me too. Thyme and Rosemary are a 'must' with Shepherd's Pie. I also add some tomato puree for some sweetness. This still looks delicious though!
this women is a goddess. so easy to follow. nothing to fancy, real home cooked meals. can't stop watching.
Your wooden spoon on the mash movements are bloody hypnotic!
Am I the only one who loves cold baked beans with Shepherds Pie ?
Cold pork and beans right from the can
Ye
I’ve made this recipe countless times, it’s amazing! I added a bit more of the veggies the last time, and I’m excited to see the end result! Thanks again!
Just making this. I added garlic and mint to the mince, along with corn and peas as well as the veg in the recipe. It smells so good. Just gone into the oven. THANK YOU!
I haven't seen a recipe with mint. But people eat mint jelly with lamb. So, it makes sense.
> I added garlic and mint to the mince
NO THIS IS BRITISH COOKING, IT MUST NOT ACTUALLY HAVE TASTE!
@@lqr824 good thing I am not British then, eh. Oh and I have lived in the UK and really enjoyed their foods.

Thank you for this recipe! I used beef because lamb isn't really popular in my country. It was good~
It’s called Cottage Pie when beef is used, Shepherds Pie when it’s lamb.
I made this for dinner yesterday and my partner LOVED IT and so did I!
absolutely amazing recipe! Thank you
I absolutely adore your channel my friend bless her heart has a hard time in the kitchen so i cook for her and these are so super easy recipies im sure she can follow ^.^
This is the best recipe I have ever seen.... thank you for sharing 🙇♀️😊❤
Wow that’s the easiest method for shepherds pie that I’ve seen so far👍👍👍Great, I can’t wait to make it 👍👍👍
Hope you enjoy, thanks for watching :)
Omg! My first time and indeed it was deliciously addictive! Clean plates indeed! Some even asking if I wana start selling 😆 Thank you so much!
Yum, this dish is in my dna. Thank you for teaching me how to make it.
Well done madame it came out very very good.we ended up licking the plates,really.a big clap to you👏.
A good dollop of horseradish sauce mixed into the mash works great, especially with cottage pie.
Lamb mince is so good. My families favourite too. I will use my potato ricer next time
Hope you enjoy
I really enjoy watching you cook and your meal so always looks so delicious and tasty I to love frying in a drop of oil left overs served on toast lol have a good week ahead.
Thank you
I love your channel. Always such fantastic yummy recipes. Thanks so much for sharing your recipes with us. ❤️🙏😀
My pleasure 😊
I just moved into a new building and word got around that I make decent food (I'm a terrible cook btw!) So now I've being forced to make a shepherds pie, happy to have found this video.
Delicious! I made it yesterday but put the creamer into beef mixture instead of mash potato. Turned out fine as well. Thanks. 😋
Wonderful video.
Might try half amount version, so what size baking dish are you using there?
And what size dish would be okay for a half size version?
Many thanks!
This looks realy tasty I like this sort of meal thankyou x
I love all your recipes. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤😮

Awesome! Thank you!
Great recipe in FOUR minutes! No BS. 100% useful info. BRILLIANT! Subscribing....
Awesome, thank you!
Best recipe! Absolutely delicious!! Thank you
Wow! I was wondering why so much stock and realized they are for gravy! Such a good idea, going to try that!! 💪🎉🥳 subscribed!
I like the idea of a potato ricer, never even heard of but I'll be looking to get one. Ty for this recipe!
Yay!! Shephard's pie sandwich! I thought I was the only one who did this, but why wait until the day after, just do it straight away?!
That was our childhood meal with a plateful of bread and butter, northerners 😂
I'm from the north of England where we believe everything is better between 2 slices of bread or wrapped in pastry and if it's wrapped in pastry you can put it between 2 slices of bread.
Halved the quantity for four people all the plates were clean after mopping up with bread amazing 👍👍
Yay 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽so so happy u did a Shepard’s pie recipe! I’m looking forward to trying it for my family tomorrow! Love love your meals, my whole family does! They honestly get so excited when I say I’m cooking a kitchen sanctuary recipe. Thank you X
Cheers Nikki , I can almost taste it . First chilly evening this season in Wales and that would go down a treat ! 😎❤️👍
Made a slight adaptation to the constituent parts but maintained the methodology..... called it 'Coward's Pie'...... Yes !..... because I used chicken mince. Love the straight in and no BS....many thanks. Regards from sunny Spain.
Wow. Even while viewing, it is so delicious. Thanks.
I put a table spoon of mint sauce when cooking adding to the flavour of the lamb
I made this using your recipe, it was so delicious
That's on of my favorite food I been making this for yrs,,I also like hamburger and potatoes
Well done you know your onion its great to see someone who is proper any room for tea plus your hubby is great with a pukka idea you family be safe my your god Go with you kev kevkev kev kev
Lovely cooking.... l like cheese in with the potatoes.
Nicky, this one looks so delicious and satisfying😋!!! I think I need to invest in a potato ricer though. One question for you though: what exactly are the type of potato's you used? Thank you Nicky🤗. I think Chris's leftover idea is the way to go!!!
Add some nutmeg, sour cream and grated cheese to the mash.. divine!
For the British folk who are unsure floury potatoes in the supermarket are Maris Pipers which is what is most commonly available
Totally unnecessary comment..if anyone needs to be told about which potatoes to look for it’s the Americans…🙄🇬🇧
Us brits know the spuds well thanks
New subscriber here, hello from Canada! Love your recipes, your presentation, and your easy to follow instructions!
Use this recipe every time! Absolutely PENG!
Made this tonight and my family loved it
I put a teaspoon of cinnamon in the gravy very tasty in my cottage pie
Brilliant tip using the slotted spoon for extra gravy on top. Just subscribed and cooking it now.😊
This is my first time here and this recipe looks awesome! Thank you!
When making Celery, onions and Carrots, I use a cheese grater then chop of any awkward bits because I am lazy and like to do things stupidly quick lol. Saw frozen C C & O in tescos other day, might just buy that this week lol
Going to try this for Sunday Dinner... I love the Tuscan Ckn.
Made twice now. very tasty. Thanks.
Add some Parm to your mashed potatoes for some cheesy flavor!
Oh my goodness, this looks so good 😋
So good!
It looks good, I use tomatoepuré and some rosemary and little bit of thyme.
Looks lovely. If making cottage pie would it just be exactly the same but with beef mince?
Hi looks delicious and comforting food just did mine to day but try it your way next time thanks for sharing
Pretty much yeah 😉👌
Of all the recipes for this dish I do believe I'll make this one next.
Always a favorite of mine for that last ...well over 50 years !! x
Its soo good isn't it 😋
