Chili Beef Cottage Pie image

A really easy family mid week meal that can be on the table in about 30 minutes. You can use any ratio of potato to parsnip or all potato or all parsnip for the topping. If you can't find kidney beans in chili sauce, just add 2 tsp of chili powder and 50g chopped roasted peppers instead. This isn't over spicy, making it fine for the younger members of the family. This can be made ahead of time and heated in the oven for about 30-40 minutes.

VENISON CHILLI COTTAGE PIE



Venison chilli cottage pie image

Try this twist on cottage pie using venison instead of beef. If you don't fancy the spiced mash topping, you can swap that out, too, for a puff pastry lid

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 4h55m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tbsp sunflower oil
800g diced stewing venison , haunch is a good cut to use if you dice your own
2 onions , finely chopped
5 garlic cloves , finely chopped
2 tsp cumin seeds
2 tsp cracked black pepper
2 tsp ground coriander
250ml red wine
600ml chicken or beef stock
2 tbsp cornflour mixed with a little cold water
1 lime , juiced and zested
50g 70% dark chocolate , grated
1kg mashing potatoes (such as King Edwards), peeled and quartered
150ml soured cream
1 red chilli , chopped
50g cheddar , grated

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 2. Heat half the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish and fry the venison in batches until it has a dark caramelised crust, then transfer to a plate. Turn the heat right down, give the dish a quick wipe with some kitchen paper and add a little more oil, then fry the onions over a low heat for about 20 mins until caramelised. Stir in the garlic and spices, cook for a couple of mins, then add the venison back to the pan, stirring so all the spices coat the venison. Pour in the wine and stock and bring to the boil. Cover and cook in the oven for 2½ hrs until the meat is very tender.
  • Lift the venison out of pan and set aside on a plate. Reduce the sauce by two-thirds, whisk in the cornflour mix, then cook over a low heat for 5 mins until thickened and glossy. Tip the venison back in along with the lime zest and juice and the grated chocolate, stir everything together, check the seasoning and pour into a gratin dish or individual pie dishes and chill in the fridge. Can be made three days ahead and chilled for up to six months ahead and frozen.
  • To make the mash, boil the potatoes in salted water. Add the soured cream to a pan and gently heat. When the potatoes are tender, drain well, then either pass through a ricer into a bowl or mash them. Mix in the chilli, then slowly stir in the soured cream until you have a light, fluffy mash. Add a little seasoning and spread or pipe over the chilled chilli mix, then scatter over the cheese. Pop in the fridge until needed. Can be assembled up to a day before, or frozen for up to one month.
  • To cook the pie, heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 6. Bake for 45 mins until golden and bubbling, leave to sit for 10 mins and serve straight from the dish.

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ small yellow onion, diced
1 ½ teaspoons garlic, minced
1 lb lean ground beef
1 packet McCormick® Original Chili Seasoning

Steps:

  • Make the chili: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and softened, about 6 minutes.

Add the diced tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, or until the beef is fully cooked through. Stir in the tomato sauce and salt, and cook for another 2 minutes, until thickened slightly. Add the canned kidney beans and mix until combined.
  • Pour the ground beef mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top.
  • Make the mashed potatoes: Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place in a pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, 20-30 minutes. Drain the potatoes and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add sour cream and melted butter to the bowl with the potatoes. Using an electric hand mixer on medium-low speed, whip the potatoes until smooth. Add the half-and-half, McCormick® Garlic Powder, white pepper, and salt, and mix on low speed until combined.
