      Maybe it’s different because cottage pie and shepherds pie are 2 different things. Shepherds pie is made with lamb and cottage pie with beef. After all shepherds look after sheep not cattle. People often get confused over this.

    I've used my pastry cutter for over 50 years to bread up ground meat while frying. The tool your using my daughter bought me and I found it takes up too much room in the utensil drawer. I lay tomato paste out flat and freeze it in a plastic bag then just break off the amount I need. No waste.

    Add the veg first with a good slurp of olive oil and a large pinch of salt and then sweat with the lid on for a good 10 mins to give a sofrito. Then add meat and proceed. This gives a sweeter, richer flavour. As per Marcella Hazan’s ragu. I’m British but this is how I make my shepherds pie.

    Just found your channel, and I love it !
    As an Englishman living in the USA, whenever I hear someone say "Shepherd's Pie" then I'm automatically in hyper-critical mode !!! As soon as you said you were using lamb, then I gave a knowing nod of approval. When you pronounced Worcestershirshsheshire sauce as Wooster sauce, I smiled, and the fact your family knows the difference between Shepherd's Pie & Cottage Pie is just fantastic & respectful. Yes sir, you're doing it right !
    This is very close to my recipe. My only changes are NO celery because I hate it, HP sauce with the stock instead of Guinness, and vintage cheddar for the mash instead of Parmesan, because well, I'm English. Like you said also, use your eyes for the meat mix - when it has that lovely silky glossy sheen to it, then it's perfect - and that applies whether you decide to use lamb or beef.

    While you can use raw minced lamb, we normally mince up left over roast lamb. It’s a “leftover” dish, made with leftover mashed potatoes and leftover roast lamb. I’ve never made it with raw minced lamb, but I suspect the flavour profile would be quite different.
    Also leftover mashed potato has a different texture as it has slightly solidified in the fridge. It seems to crisp up better, with or without cheese on too.
    I’m from New Zealand and my wife is English and it was always made from leftovers by everyone that we know.

    I loved to watch this video and found it entertaining. I have developed my own, very similar, quick SP, in which I just cook the meat, veg & seasoning ingredients down in one pan, s quick as I can while I simmer the pots. Mostly I used cold shoulder of lamp I mince myself. Once the pots are done, they're riced into a bowl, creamed & seasoned and then splopped straight onto the pan on top of all the other ingredients - Boof !! 20 mins in the oven and then onto the plate. Oh Yes. What a Feast!

    Nice, very similar to how I make mine. I also add some panko breadcrumbs on top as well, adds a great texture.

    For the ground beef/cottage pie variant, I had a breakthrough a few weeks ago: replace a portion of the Worcestershire sauce with red miso paste, and a squeeze of brown mustard. I dunno if it will work with lamb's unique flavor, but for supermarket ground beef it kicked the recipe up a whole letter grade.

    I haven't had shepherds pie in so long. I am binging your channel for meal ideas (I married an Italian who grew up in Long Island and New Jersey) so your channel is perfect. Also, I appreciate your style of cooking channel and your taste testers are the best. :)

    Finally a North American who understands that shepherd’s pie is with lamb (clue is in the name, shepherds have sheep), I’m English and my bugbear here in Canada is them calling cottage pie a shepherd’s pie (first world problems!). On top of that you can pronounce Worcestershire, I’m impressed 😂. Looks lovely although not sure what eggs are doing in there. I must admit I use half chicken stock and half beef stock if I can’t find lamb stock. Great recipe

    I was raised by JOBs in Calgary, (Just off the boats) A Canadian term for recent immigrants. My whole family is from Scotland. This recipe is missing one ingredient that is essential, Nutmeg, that is the secret spice for Shepherds pie. I use 1 1/2 teaspoon. Granny called Shepherd's Pie, or Cottage Pie Larder cleaner. Also I would never use tomatoes, Celts did not use tomatoes, ever they were considered poison.

    As a Quebecer, we have history for our shepherds pie. It's called Pate Chinois and its very simple. Mashed potato, corn, and ground beef. Usually enjoyed with ketchup but I prefer bbq sauce

  • @joedennehy386
    @joedennehy386 Год назад

    Shepherds pie was introduced to me as a way of using leftover lamb roast. In New Zealand right now you can buy a leg of lamb for less than $4.00 usd per pound. So I am eating a lot of roast lamb, and plenty of shepherds pie. I dice up the cold roast lamb, and combine that with browned ground meat, otherwise its the same. I ad any leftover gravy as well with the tomato. Great recipe thanks.

    I laughed when you started talking about producers and such. "Wait, it's just James & Tara, right...??" You guys do such a good job for just the two of you. And I love that it's home kitchen cooking. That's what I'm here to see!!
    Also I deeply sympathize with you on your electric stove situation. Recently moved into a house with gas stove and I'm not sure I can ever go back...

    Love your site. Have since the beginning. I buy my tomato paste in a 12 ounce can. I use what I need and freeze the remainder. That way I always have some on hand to carve off the frozen slab. Cheaper and more handy. God bless you and the family.

    I make Sheppage Pie. All-Lamb is too gamey for me so I do 1.5-2 lbs of lean beef to 1/2 lb Lamb. My one unusual ingredient is pearl onions. Love the sweetness and its like getting little prizes while you dine. I always spend the ducats for English Cheddar. I also put a small layer of the mash on the bottom of the dish first. Makes it easier to remove servings in one piece. This dish works great with mashed cauliflower too for us low-carbers.

    The Meat Masher!! 🤣🤣 I just got one about a month ago, also thinking "am I really going to need this?" I am SO loving how well it breaks up the meat for tacos, chili etc. Happy to see you like it too - I feel validated. 😅

And thank you for always showing your wine choices, always great choices that don’t break the bank. such a big help. Would you consider making a video set featuring wines ..ones that really lean on wine for the flavor it imparts. Thank you friend. Much love to you and your family.

    A suggestion for what to do with leftover tomato paste. Lay a substantial piece of plastic wrap on your counter. you’re going to split this in half and then fold one-half over the other. On the 1 Half place dollops of the remaining tomato paste in maybe one or 2 tablespoon increments about 1 1/2 inches apart so that you have maybe four or six or whatever’s left.Then you fold over the other half of the plastic wrap over the dollops and mold the plastic wrap around each dollop and then fold those up and put them in the freezer. When you need a tablespoon full or so of tomato paste you can just either unwrap it and it will come out by itself or you can just cut out a piece out of the wrapping. There ya go! No need to waste the rest... you can also do something similar with an ice cube tray...

    Great option to put cheese on the top. For either Cottage or Shepherds pie I don't typically top the mash potatoes with cheese but I put butter and smoked paprika which creates a great crust and colour. My next batch I will try with parmesan cheese. Cheddar I'll reserve for scallop potatoes au gratin.

  • @tendervittlesdoobiestein2145

    VERY NICE. I'll sometimes use ground beef and/or lamb but have found that the real crowd pleaser is slow cooked cubes of chuck roast, finished in a hot skillet with EVOO, minced onion, fresh crushed garlic, thyme, and cracked pepper and deglazed with Guiness or Red Wine). I try to limit salt but a pinch or two or three of kosher salt and salted butter in the potatoes seems work well to keep it from being bland. It's damn good as I'm sure yours is as well.
