Shepherd’s Pie

Noble Homestead

Shepherd’s Pie is a dish made with leftover meat, mashed potatoes and some vegetables. Traditionally, it is made with lamb but in America I see it made mostly with hamburger.  Here I used organic, grass fed lamb and organic vegetables.  The wine I used was a cheap Merlot.

Chop leftover meat and saute with onions and carrot coins in olive oil with a tablespoon of diced garlic. Brown for 5 minutes without stirring. Deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup red wine or water. I also added leftover gravy, but too much.

Grease (or nonstick spray) a deep baking pan that will fit your meat mixture and leftover mashed potatoes.

Don’t try to spread the potatoes yet.

Spray a spatula with nonstick or rub with oil and spread the potatoes in a nice, smooth layer to the edges. Garnish with green onions and paprika, cheese, or whatever you prefer. Make sure you put this baking dish on a parchment-covered cookie sheet. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes.

The reason we put this on a parchment or foil-lined baking sheet 🙂

Add cranberry sauce and some green veggies (the spacey looking veggie is Malabar spinach, one of my favorite decorative edibles).
