1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 pounds lean ground beef or lamb
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup beef stock
1 1/2 cups garden peas
Cheesy Mashed Potatoes, recipe follows
Preheat oven at 400 degrees F.
Add butter and oil to a large skillet on medium heat. Saute onions,
carrots, celery and garlic until tender for about 7 to 10 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper. Once the vegetables have softened and start
to brown a little add the tomato paste and mix evenly. Add the ground
beef and cook until beef is no longer pink about 10 minutes. Add the
Worcestershire sauce and beef stock. Season with salt and pepper, to
taste. Cook and simmer for another 10 minutes. Mix in peas. Transfer
mixture to an oven-proof baking dish and spread evenly. Place potato on
top of ground beef mixture and spread out evenly, once the top surface
has been covered, rake through with a fork so that there are peaks that
will brown nicely. Place the dish into the preheated oven and cook until
browned about 20 minutes. Spoon out the shepherd's pie and serve.
Mashed Potatoes
4 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, quartered
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated mature white Cheddar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fill a large saucepan with cold water and a
tablespoon of salt. Add potatoes to the water and bring to a boil. Let
potatoes cook until soft about 20 minutes. Once the potatoes are at a
desired density, drain the potatoes and place them back into the
saucepan for mashing. Add butter and cream and begin to mash potatoes
into a semi smooth consistency. Once at desired texture add cheese and
mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
