Cottage Pie


Apparently it's cottage pie if it has beef in it and shepherds pie if it is made from lamb! Thanks again to my friend Rachel for this picture.

This was one of our staple mid-week meals when I was growing up and to this day I always have to put baked beans in it as this is how my mum made it and have it with sprouts. I'm feeling very nostalgic just writing this!

There are all sorts of variations you can try such as:

  • add finely diced carrots and swede to the meat
  • mash carrots or swede into the potato topping
  • mix a teaspoon of wholegrain mustard with the potatoes for a mustard mash
  • sprinkle grated cheese over the top of the mash
  • add kidney, pinto or borlotti beans to the meat mixture
  • when using lamb add chopped bacon and rosemary
  • to make a cobbler - cover the meat with savoury or cheese scones (instead of mash). Make homemade scones, layer over the meat and cook for 25 minutes at 190 degrees / mark 5

Just click on the link above for the PDF file and print it out. If you like it please let me know by leaving a comment below.

  6. This is basically because of what happens when you utilize a patch as a level surface. Quad Patches have less mathematical detail data to twist with and produce more faces to twist appropriately. Along these lines, if your surface requires little bend, stay with Quad Patches. They will work better with regards to altering. b3 bomber jacket canada
