Shepherd's Pie



Sheperd's pie, a british classic. 

This recipe comes from a video of Gordon Ramsay, he gives it a fantastic twist and turns into a pretty flavourful situation. 
Great, great recipe.

  •  1 spoonful lof rosemary.
  • 1/4 cup of chicken stock. 
  • 4 Potatoes or instant potatoes mash.
  • Pepper to season potato mash.
  • 2 Egg yolks (optional for the mashed potatoes).
  • 50 grams of parmesan cheese.

STEPS:
  1. Sautee the mince in olive oil (get rid of the extra oil, you don't want a greasy pie)
  2. Add the salt, and the whole onion that you have grated.
  3. Grate the carrots and the garlic and add as well to the mince.
  4. Let it all integrate together in low fire.
  5. Now add the worcesthershire sauce (this is the key ingredient).
  6. Add the tomato puree, or tomate frito.
  7. Now add the red wine, thyme and rosemary.
  8. Let the liquid evaporate to stronger fire and afterwards add the chicken stock. 
  9. Let it mix there for 5 minutes and let it evaporate too.
  10. Now prepare the mashed potatoes, with an already prepackaged one or mash the potatoes, seasoning with pepper and adding two egg yolks if you want (totally optional).
  11. You can also add to the mashed potatoes parmenan cheese.
  12. In a pot or baking dish place the yummy flavourful mince on the botton and cover with the mashed potatoes.
  13. Grate cheese or parmensan cheese.
  14. Let it sit in the over at 250 degrees for 15-20 mins.
  15. Make sure you grill the top to give it the cheff look.

And voila you all. 

Our whole lives criticizing British food and it turns out they can come up with some decent dishes.
