Great stuff Rik. I’ve always found the pretty-much essential thing is the age and fattiness of the sheep involved. Taste-wise (even if not fashion-wise!) fat is GOOD. In my Highland Scottish childhood we all ALWAYS made it out of old-as-possible MUTTON, if that wasn’t available (but it always was), then HOGGET, and never out of relatively ‘tasteless’ lamb. We still stick to our own ‘old’ minced-mutton but SADLY that seems to be getting harder to find in your average butchers. We’ve all always browned the mutton-mince well first before adding the more-tender veg. And isn’t the choice of potatoes important too? They do need to be good and fluffy. As a final thing, out of choice I’d always leave the well-browned (not just ‘beige’) mince and its softened veg to ‘develop’ in the fridge for 3-4 days before adding the ‘ploughed-field’ topping and finishing it in the oven. I like to think that I could tell the difference blindfold! (We often then freeze it before the topping stage too, then defrost it, add the spuds and then into our old-fashioned oven for half an hour or so)

Spectacular, Rick! And easy!! Bravo!!! Because German guests were visiting "Stateside" and wanted to try BISON, which is a VERY LEAN meat, I modified the recipe by adding more butter in the onion/garlic/veg stir! Admittedly, I was in a hurry, because everyone was hungry--I cubed the taties small to boil faster, and hurried the celery, carrots, and peas a bit. But the flavors of all came through, and the carrots and peas were NOT mushy. A total success!! Thank you! And we were obliged to retitle it "Prairie Pie." haha

A lovely recipe! One of my favourite dishes. Sometimes I'll add parsnips to it as well. The sweetness and sharpness they add compliment the lamb nicely. That's a very good tip about not 'over mashing' the potatoes. It causes the starches to over develop and makes the potatoes more paste like. Thanks for mentioning the difference between cottage and shephard's pie. In the US many times, they substitute beef and still refer to it as 'shephard's pie'. It is harder to find lamb in some places. If you think about it though, a shephard tends to sheep/lamb not cattle, but I think they use beef for convenience. Cheers mate!

I'm had Shepherd's Pie in a restaurant years ago and LOVED it. Since I pretty much love all things British (I visited there twice in my younger days.) I must make this. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and showing us how to make it. I LOVE your videos. I also get a laugh out of "chucking" things into bowls. Delightful. God bless.

In NZ we make our Shepherds Pie using left over roast hoggett/wether/ewe. We put the meat through either an old fashioned hand cranked mincer that we screw onto the bench (👍for best results) or through a mincer attachment on a Kenwood or similar. We also put quartered onions through the mincer, catching the juice from the onion and adding some or all of it, back into the minced meat and onion mix. Add Tomato sauce, p &s and top it with fluffy mashed potato, create furrows using a fork for knobs of butter to melt into when its in the oven - makes a lovely crunchy top. Best served with tomato sauce & buttered bread😋 No need for other veg as we've had our 5 plus the day before with the roast😛 That's Real shepherds pie. Anything else is classed as Cottage pie down here.

When I was growing up, it was common practice to take the leftover roast from Sunday dinner and put it through a meat grinder (almost all households had one) and that was the basis for shepherd's (cottage) pie. This was the typical Monday dinner. After I grew up, no one had meat grinders anymore, so shepherd's pie was made with store-bought mince. It was never quite the same, but still remains for me a much-loved dish.

We all have tired looking celery in the fridge! Just as I would cook it [a chicken an a beef stock cube works well if you haven't got lamb stock] Any Anchovies lurking in the fridge - chuck them in!👍

Gone potty about you for this one! I now have some very sour faced relatives. To them cottage and shepherd was one and the very same thing and always arguing with me about it!

My mom's and grandmoms' solution to the tough bits of beef or venison ... grind it and make a pie out of it. Or how to make half a pound of meat serve 6 people. I don't remember what they called it.

YOU make MY kind of food! I grew up in USA with my mom's version of Shepherd's Pie made with green beans, (YUM!) so that's what I know. My kids grew up with it, also and everyone loves it. I now make it vegetarian with faux beef crumbles -- I guess mine is now called "Sheep Lovers Pie" 🥰

Delicious! 100 times better recipe than mine! Love it with baked beans and a couple of slices of buttered bread! Love Cumberland pie too, but sod knows what’s in it!
