GOURMET SHEPHERD'S PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Add sweet potatoes and Yukon gold potatoes to a roasting pan and rub olive oil over them. Season with allspice, salt and pepper. Bake until potatoes are tender, about 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• While the potatoes are roasting, start the meat filling by melting the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the pork, turkey, shallots and garlic and sauté until the meat is golden, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add the celery, carrots, cinnamon and cloves and sauté over high heat until carrots soften, about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle with flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and cook for 2 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, thyme, savoury, rosemary and chicken stock. Bring to a boil then reduce to low heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer covered until all the moisture is absorbed by the meat, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Add peas to the meat and gently mix inches Transfer the meat filling to a baking dish (about 7½" X 11½" X 3" deep).
• Peel potatoes and gently mash them in a bowl. Add butter, cream, nutmeg and salt and pepper and stir until blended. Spoon the mashed potatoes onto the meat filling and spread evenly with a spatula to completely cover it.
• Bake uncovered at 375°F until golden brown on top and meat filling is bubbling, about 25 to 30 minutes.

GORDON RAMSAY'S SHEPHERD'S PIE WITH CHEESE CHAMP TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350° F/ 180° C/Gas 4. Place a large, wide frying pan or hob-proof casserole dish over a medium-high heat. Add a dash of oil and fry the mince in batches, seasoning each lot, until well browned. Add the garlic for the last 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Put a little more oil in the same pan and cook the onion and leeks over a medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until completely softened. Add Worcestershire sauce to taste, then stir in the tomato purée.
• Return the mince to the pan and stir well. Pour in the wine, scraping up any bits from the bottom. Bubble for a couple of minutes to burn off the alcohol, then add the stock and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer, then add the rosemary and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Cook gently for 10-15 minutes, until the sauce has reduced slightly and the flavours are well-combined. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, prepare the topping. Boil the potatoes until tender, then drain and mash until smooth. Mix in the butter and seasoning, then add the spring onions and three-quarters of the cheese and mix again. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. If the mash is too dry add a splash of milk to loosen.
• Put the lamb mixture into a 28 x 22cm baking dish and top with the mashed potato. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and little salt and pepper. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potato is golden brown and the meat is bubbling underneath, and serve.

SHEPHERD'S PIE

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch dice. Place in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Set over high heat, cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, uncover, decrease the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until tender and easily crushed with tongs, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Place the half-and-half and butter into a microwave-safe container and heat in the microwave until warmed through, about 35 seconds. Drain the potatoes in a colander and then return to the saucepan. Mash the potatoes and then add the half and half, butter, salt and pepper and continue to mash until smooth. Stir in the yolk until well combined.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the filling. Place the canola oil into a 12-inch saute pan and set over medium high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the onion and carrots and saute just until they begin to take on color, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to combine. Add the lamb, salt and pepper and cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 3 minutes. Sprinkle the meat with the flour and toss to coat, continuing to cook for another minute. Add the tomato paste, chicken broth, Worcestershire, rosemary, thyme, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer slowly 10 to 12 minutes or until the sauce is thickened slightly.
• Add the corn and peas to the lamb mixture and spread evenly into an 11 by 7-inch glass baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes, starting around the edges to create a seal to prevent the mixture from bubbling up and smooth with a rubber spatula. Place on a parchment lined half sheet pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25 minutes or just until the potatoes begin to brown. Remove to a cooling rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
