Directions
Traditional Irish Shepherd’s Pie, Posting this per a request I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again there is nothing Irish about Corned Beef and Cabbage, but Shepherd’s Pie has always been and still is a staple of traditional Irish cooking This is a really easy, but tasty recipe that the whole family will enjoy It’s nutritionally sound with all the major food groups represented The British use lamb in their Shepherd’s Pie, but we’ve always used beef Do whatever you prefer or even try turkey if you’re watching fat content This sauce is lovely and rich and should go well with any meat You can use fresh or leftover mashed potato I usually use 3 tbsp of ketchup instead of the 2tbsp of tomato paste as I like the hint of sweetness, but traditionally the paste would be more sound! You can also make individual pies which are always a hit with the kids This freezes beautifully too, so make two and save one! Just let it defrost and glaze with the egg and pop into the oven as directed Enjoy! :), Can I freeze this recipe? If so, how long can it be frozen & what should the cook time be?, This was delicious I added about 1/2 cup of frozen corn with the peas because I had it and it was very pretty and went well with the rest of the recipe Otherwise followed exactly It was actually better than the cottage pie I had in Dublin last year pre-Covid! Will make this again
