Gordon Ramsay's Shepherd's Pie


This is next on my list. I am making ragu tonight. My family loves shepherd's pie so if you do too, this is a must try. This recipe serves 6; total time from prep to finish is 50 minutes.


What you'll need:

2 tbsp olive oil

2 lbs ground lamb

1 large onion, grated

1 large carrot, grated

2 cloves garlic, grated

2 tbsp worcestershire sauce

1½ tbsp tomato paste

2 sprigs of fresh thyme leaves

1 sprig fresh rosemary, chopped

1 cup red wine

1 cup chicken stock

2.5 lbs potatoes (peeled and cut into chunks)

2 egg yolks

¼ cup cream

4 tbsp butter

6 tbsp parmesan cheese, grated



Create:


Preheat the oven to 350°F


Heat the oil in a large pan until hot.


Season the ground lamb and fry in the oil over moderate to high heat for 2-3 minutes.


Stir the onions and carrot into the mince then grate the garlic in as well.


Add the Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste and herbs and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.


Pour in the red wine and reduce until almost completely evaporated.


Add the chicken stock, bring to the boil and simmer until the sauce has thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste. Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until tender.


Drain potatoes and return to the hot pan over low heat to dry out briefly.


Pass them through a potato ricer then beat in the egg yolks, cream and butter, followed by about 2 tbsp grated Parmesan. Check for seasoning.


Spoon the lamb mixture into the bottom of an ovenproof dish.


Using a large spoon, layer the mashed potato generously on top of the lamb mixture, starting from the outside and working your way into the middle.


Top with remaining parmesan and season.


Fluff up the mashed potato with a fork to make rough peaks.
