Instructions to make Family favourite shepherds pie:
- Heat the oil in a large pan (oven proof if possible to save on washing up!) Add the veg and cook for 10-15 mins until lovely and soft.
- Add the beef mince and cook for 5 minutes or so until browned. Now add the Quorn mince and cook for a few minutes.
- Sprinkle over the Oxo cube and paprika and stir into the mince. Add the balsamic vinegar and stir again. Add a few tbsps of stock and cook for a minute or two to allow the mince to absorb the flavour.
- Sprinkle over the flour and stir well into the mince mix. Gradually add half of the remaining stock and simmer for a few minutes. The liquid should start to thicken. At this point, add the marmite and the tomato puree and stir again.
- Add a little more of the stock and keep adding until the "gravy" reaches the desired consistency. You may not need all the stock.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper and take off the heat. If you have time, let the mince mixture and the mash cool a little as it's easier to build the pie when its had time to cool down.
- When ready, pour the mince mix into a large ovenproof dish. Spoon the mashed potato on the top and fluff up with a fork.
- Cook in a preheated oven at 190˚ for about 25-35 minutes. (If you have left the mixture to cool completely beforehand, reduce the heat of the oven to 180˚ and cook for 40 - 45 minutes.)
- Serve with some fresh green veg whilst piping hot. Try not to fall out over the crispy bits!
Shepherd's pie is firm family favourite when it comes to comfort food. I most often make mine with minced lamb or even beef (which technically makes it a Cottage pie). A few weeks a go I had some left over roast lamb, from a roast dinner. Incredibly easy to make, yet so delicious! Cream of mushroom soup adds flavor and creaminess to the filling, and instant mashed potatoes makes it quick and easy!
