Shepherd Pie

Ingredients:

The Filling:

• 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 1.5 lbs Ground Lamb or Beef
• 1 Large grated Carrot
• 1 Large grated Onion
• Fresh Rosemary
• Fresh Thyme
• 4 cloves Minced Garlic
• Salt
• Pepper
• Worcestershire Sauce (several splashes)
• 1 small canTomato Puree/ Paste
• Red Wine (several glugs)
• 1/4 cup Chicken Stock

The Mash:

• 1.5 lbs Potatoes
• 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
• 3 1/2 tbsp Butter
• Salt
• Pepper
• 2 Egg Yolks
• 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese

Directions

1. Cook the potatoes by boiling some water, throw some salt and your potatoes in, and set a timer for 15 minutes
2. Start on your filling by pouring Olive Oil into a hot, rather large pan, then add meat.
3. Stir meat for a few minutes so it’s nice and brown, and broken into very small pieces.
4. Add your Rosemary, Thyme, and Garlic, then stir some more.
5. Quickly add your Carrot, and Onion, stir a little longer.
6. Add Worcestershire Sauce, stir, add Tomato Puree, stir, add Red Wine and sweat down for a minute or two.
7. Add chicken stock and cook for 3 more minutes.
8. Upon the timer going off, take your potatoes out and strain the water off. Put potatoes back into the pan, or into a medium mixing bowl. Mash the potatoes with their ingredients from above and keep warm (your filling should be about done by this point)
9. Scoop your meat mixture into a deep casserole or other oven safe dish and then spoon the mash over the top. Spread the mash over the top of the mix with the bottom of the spoon and then sprinkle a generous portion of Parmesan cheese over the top. Poke the top with a fork several times to give it a peaked look and stick it in the oven at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes to brown the potatoes and set the pie. Serve it up
