LAMB AND WILD MUSHROOM SHEPHERD'S PIE
DH and I made this delicious shepherd's pie a few nights ago and really enjoyed it. We used two pounds of lamb chopped of from a big leg of lamb, rather than using blade chops. I also used salted butter with no problems. Even though I used a 9 inch pie dish as directed, my pie spilled over the sides into the oven while cooking, so be careful. The only problem was the bit of mess in the oven, the pie looked and tasted fine. The recipe is from Williams-Sonoma.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Combine the garlic, bay leaf, carrot, celery, onion and oil in a medium skillet and cook, covered, over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes. Push the vegetables to the perimeter of the pan and add the lamb. Increase the heat to high and cook, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon, until browned all over. Sprinkle with the mustard, 1 teaspoon of the salt and some pepper. Stir until fragrant, 1 minute, then add the tomato paste, fennel seeds and tomato puree and stir again. Cook for 1 minute more. Turn off the heat and stir in the mint and sage. Remove the bay leaf.
- Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover by 2 inches with salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Cook until a knife releases easily from the potatoes when pierced in the center, 12 to 15 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water and drain the potatoes. In the same pot, combine the milk, butter, and 1/2 cup of the cooking water and stir together over high heat. Bring to a boil. Mash the potatoes with a masher, then slowly drizzle the hot liquid over the potatoes and stir until light and fluffy. Taste and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the lamb mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch deep-dish pie plate, spreading it evenly over the bottom. Spoon the mashed potatoes over the top, covering completely. Use the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to create a swirled pattern in the potatoes. Bake until the topping turns golden in spots, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.
MUSHROOM SHEPHERD'S PIE
It sounds silly, but the one thing I miss most in meatless meals is, well, the meat. That is, except in this mushroom shepherd's pie. It's a hearty vegetarian dish, and I guarantee you won't miss the meat either. -Glen Warren, Keswick, Ontario

TRADITIONAL SHEPHERD'S PIE
British comfort food! This recipe requires ground lamb; if using ground beef, then it is called "Cottage Pie". I have used ground deer (venison) and elk for this recipe also; marinating the deer in a little red wine overnight mellows out the gamey flavor.

- Season liberally: Shepherd's pie is a hearty dish, so don't be afraid to season it well. Use plenty of salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Let the flavors meld: After assembling the shepherd's pie, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream or mashed potatoes: Shepherd's pie is traditionally served with a dollop of sour cream or mashed potatoes. This helps to balance out the richness of the dish.
