MY MOTHER'S SHEPHERD'S PIE



My Mother's Shepherd's Pie image

Geoffrey Zakarian ate this dish often as a kid, but he didn't know it as shepherd's pie, just as a tasty use of leftovers. "My mom, Viola, served it whenever there was extra meat," he says. "It's the best comfort food." The recipe is easy to adjust based on what you have: You can substitute ground beef or turkey for the lamb or swap the potato for cauliflower or turnip purée.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 pounds russet potatoes
Kosher salt
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 large egg yolks
Freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup pearl onions (fresh or frozen), peeled
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 yellow onion, diced
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, minced
2 pounds ground lamb
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the potatoes: Peel and cube the potatoes into a 1-inch dice. Put in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Season the water with salt and bring to a boil. Boil the potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and pass through a ricer. Add the milk, sour cream, melted butter and egg yolks to the potatoes and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and reserve.
  • For the filling: Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. In a medium sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the pearl onions and cook, shaking the pan occasionally so the onions brown on all sides, until caramelized, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a large shallow ovenproof braising pan, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and rosemary and cook, stirring often, until the onions are slightly browned and soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the lamb and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the lamb is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste, flour and sherry vinegar and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the chicken stock, peas and carrots and pearl onions and bring to a boil. Spoon off any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley.
  • Top the lamb mixture with an even layer of the potatoes. For the topping: Drizzle the potatoes with the melted butter and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Transfer to the oven and bake until the potatoes are lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Garnish with additional parsley.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons butter, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound ground beef
1 packet dry French onion soup mix
1 cube chicken bouillon
1 cube beef bouillon
2 tablespoons water
1 (11 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (10 ounce) can diced carrots, drained
1 (10 ounce) can peas, drained
2 tablespoons paprika
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Mash potatoes with 1 tablespoon butter using a potato masher or fork; season with salt and pepper.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Stir onion soup mix, chicken bouillon, and beef bouillon into ground beef; simmer until flavors blend, about 2 minutes. Add water if mixture is too dry.
  • Spread ground beef mixture into the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish; top with corn, carrots, and peas. Spoon mashed potato mixture over vegetable layer; sprinkle with paprika.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over mashed potato layer; continue baking until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 10 more minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Meat: Use ground beef with a higher fat content (80/20 or 85/15) for a richer flavor. If you prefer a leaner option, you can use ground turkey or chicken, but add a little extra butter or olive oil to the pan to prevent dryness.
  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your shepherd's pie the best flavor. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen vegetables, but be sure to thaw them and drain them thoroughly before using.
  • Season Well: Don't be afraid to season your shepherd's pie well. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all essential seasonings. You can also add other herbs and spices to your liking, such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano.
  • Cook the Filling Until It's Thickened: The filling for your shepherd's pie should be thick and bubbly before you add the mashed potatoes. This will help to prevent the pie from being watery.
  • Use a Variety of Cheeses: Using a variety of cheeses in your mashed potatoes will give them a more complex flavor. Cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère are all good choices.
  • Don't Overmix the Mashed Potatoes: Overmixing the mashed potatoes will make them gluey. Stir them just until they are combined.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the shepherd's pie until the mashed potatoes are golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.

Conclusion:

Shepherd's pie is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With its hearty filling, creamy mashed potatoes, and cheesy topping, it's the perfect meal for a cold night. Follow these tips to make the best shepherd's pie possible. You can experiment with different ingredients and flavors to create your own unique recipe.
