What's the difference between cottage pie and shepherd's pie?
Answers:
Shepherd's Pie and Cottage Pie are very similar. Shepherd's Pie is made from lamb whereas Cottage Pie uses beef.
COTTAGE PIE
1 onion
1 carrot
1 tablespoon of oil
500 grams / 1 lb of beef mince
2 tablespoons of flour
1 tablespoon of tomato sauce (ketchup)
½ to 1 tablespoon of Worcester sauce (Lee & Perins)
½ cup of peas
½ cup of corn kernels (optional)
1 bouquet garni or a small bunch of herbs chopped finely and one whole bay leaf
¾ to 1 cup of beef stock
3 to 4 large potatoes
1 tablespoon of butter
salt and pepper
Peel and chop the onion and carrot finely. Heat the oil in a large frypan or saucepan, add the onion and cook until the onion is clear or translucent. Add the minced beef and sauté using a wooden spoon break up the mince so it is nice and fine. When the mince is thoroughly browned stir through the flour and cook for one minute. Add the tomato sauce, Worcester sauce, finely chopped carrot, peas, corn and herbs. Stir thoroughly to combine. Gradually add the stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and cover, simmering for 10 to 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. The mixture should be quite thick. Remove and discard the bouquet garni or whole bay leaf and set mixture aside.
Peel the potatoes, chop into quarters and place in a medium saucepan with cold water just covering the potatoes. Add a little salt to the water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. When the potatoes are cooked, drain and place back on the heat for a few seconds to let any extra water evaporate. Mash the potatoes with one tablespoon of butter until the potato is very creamy - add a little milk if necessary. Add salt to taste.
Preheat the oven to 190°C, 375°F or gas mark 5. Spoon the mince mixture into a pie dish, then spoon or pipe the creamy mashed potato over the mince. Sprinkle grated cheese on top if desired and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potato is golden and the pie is heated through
SHEPHERD'S PIE
500 grams / 1 lb of leftover roast lamb (or roast beef)
1 tablespoon of tomato sauce (ketchup)
½ to ¾ cup of leftover gravy (jus roti) or packet-mix gravy
1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley
3 to 4 large potatoes
1 tablespoon of butter
salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 180°C, 350°F or gas mark 4. Trim excess fat off the leftover roast and chop very finely by hand or in a food processor. Mix the roast with the tomato sauce and enough gravy to make a thick paste, stir in the chopped parsley, a little salt and pepper and spoon into a pie dish.
Peel the potatoes, chop into quarters and place in a medium saucepan with enough cold water to just cover the potatoes. Add a little salt and bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. When the potatoes are cooked, drain and place back on the heat for a few seconds to let any extra water evaporate from the potatoes. Mash the potatoes with one tablespoon of butter until the potato is very creamy - add a little milk if needed. Add salt to taste.
Spoon or pipe the creamy mashed potato over the minced roast mixture. Sprinkle with grated cheese if desired and bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the potato is golden and the pie is heated through.
