Lately my husband been mentioning about Shepherd’s Pie often . He usually travels out of state for work and there is this one Irish Pub in Lafayette , Indiana that he goes to when he goes to that area for work travel . It’s called Nine Brothers Pub , i’ve only been there once , and i did not have their Shepherd’s Pie . My husband loves their Shepherd’s Pie , only thing i knew about it was that it was like beef , basic veggies , and mashed potatoes on top . Sort of like Pastel Tutup , which is Indonesian Pie , but instead of beef and we use chicken and basic veggie , with ham , hot dog ( yes we do put hot dogs in a lot of stuff including soup too ) , and thickened with all purpose flour and add little milk . But that’s another entry for another time . <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So anyway , due to the virus and the lock down , there is no work travel , instead he works from home . Many times he mentions how yummy shepherd’s pie is , and so being a good wife that i am .. LOL , i decided to choose one weekend night cooking to make this pie that he likes so much . <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last night i made this dish , it was easy , i read Alton Brown’s recipe , i am not sure how authentic it is compared to the Irish style .. but hey it is still Shepherd’s pie , from what i read there are so many versions of them anyway , you can make it as how you want it to be . This version is inspired by Alton Brown , quite easy and didn’t take long to make . Took me only about 45 minutes from prepping to finish . My husband helped too , he was in charge of the mashed potato . While i did the rest . Put it this way it was so easy , i even forgot couple ingredients to be added .. LOL .. but oh well , next time i’ll make sure i remember to add corn and peas ! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on the reviews , he said it was really good , he didn’t say if it was similar to the Nine Brothers version but he said it was yummy ! So try it out .. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
