Mummy Boomes Traditional Shepherds Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. 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. 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 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.
• For potatoes: 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. Once the potatoes are at a desired intensity, 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 season well. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• For the potato topping: Peel and cube the potatoes into 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 degrees F.
• In a medium saute 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 ovensafe shallow braising pan, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the 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. Continue to cook until the lamb 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. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley.
• For the additional topping: Top the lamb mixture with an even layer of the potato topping. Drizzle with the melted butter and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Transfer to the oven and bake until the topping is lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Garnish with additional parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Using a meat grinder or food processor finely chop cooked meat. Combine lamb and beef with garlic, onion and herbs. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour using a whisk to whisk into the bubbling butter and make a white roux. Add broth and simmer for 20 minutes. Place chopped beef mixture into baking dish. Add gravy to beef and adjust seasoning. Decorate top of beef with mashed potatoes. Bake for 45 minutes and serve.
