COTTAGE PIE ON CRACK | John Quilter

[@monsieurmorin]

Thanks John. I followed this to the letter EXCEPT that I would never use grapeseed oil. I used grass-fed suet to keep the tradition of grass-fed beef. No need to spoil it with nasty seed oils. This was a mind-blowing cottage pie.

[@udcaps]

brothers and sisters this man is national treasure

[@Waagghhboy]

I'm American I'm sorry I didnt know what a cottage pie is but i gave a like after watching it. I want one

[@FBerserkerF1]

I've been using this recipe for years. Keep coming back to this hidden gem

[@oldgit8597]

John I would love to thank you for this , I have made this a few times and it’s a show stopper, having been a chef for over 35 years it’s good to still be able to learn from talented people,

[@jerseyboy315]

How in the world do you only have 158k subscribers? In my opinion, you beat most of the food channels with millions of subscribers. Keep up the good content, man that cottage pie looks delicious.

[@mapledoodle5516]

Meh- he’s quite boring if you ask me. He also has this real awkward singing thing he does every so often. Not cool.

[@olivercromwell3575]

He is an annoying twat, working far too hard on his media personality. His cooking ain't all that either.

[@sunofslavia]

I'll really buy an oven only because of this recipe. Never tried traditional British food, but this simple thing just tickled me in places I didn't even know about.

[@SortedFood]

Mushroom ketchup - stop giving away the trade secrets! Haha. Love it!

[@tomdwan7080]

I am a big fan of you guys too. You and Food Busker are the only youtubers who have ever responded to my comments/questions. Love you guys

[@1980Baldeagle]

ketchup was made with mushrooms...traditionally.

Not gonna find mushroom catsup here in the south. I used a can of Campbell's Golden Mushroom soup instead. One of my dinner guests, who works in the restaurant biz, said "You could sell this".

Love that chanel for honest and humble recepies. Chef shares his tips and advises and makes it so easy to understand for us. All dishes are super cool and really good for man cooking. Just love it!

[@snoopikitten]

I don't know that I've ever learned quite so much from a recipe video. Adding this to my meal list and making a mental note of all the tips and tricks!

[@samward1317]

So the secret ingredient is the same thing that makes everything taste amazing: MSG. The most underrated and misunderstood spice in history.

[@damienx0x]

Nope

[@luke125]

Exactly

[@Aardvarked88]

There's nothing wrong with MSG but I don't think there's any in this dish. It's not the same thing as umami, not a spice either.

[@Laticia1990]

@@Aardvarked88 it's in the seaweed

[@parsia1363]

Oh Boyyyyyy! Don't know why I watched this video late at night! Now I can't go to sleep I'm salivating over this meat bomb so much! Loved it mate

[@pamelagadsden5272]

I’ve made this twice (extras in freezer) and it was a major hit!

[@pamelagadsden5272]

No more extras after 3 weeks ( you make the potatoes with each meal) sent everyone to your channel. Still making this.

[@OneDarkMartian]

Looks delicious mate! I add Marmite to my beef mince, really adds an amazing umami flavour (even if you HATE Marmite, you don't taste it but boy does it make a difference).

[@edwardchua1599]

Hi John, I was looking for a Short Crust Pastry to bake a Chicken Pie for the family. Then I came across your Yourtube video, ie your Chicken & Mushroom Pie using Puff Pastry & you blew me away. Thank you so much for teaching. It was such a Joy watching this too. May you blew more people. God bless.

[@clivem24]

Obscene !! Looks stunning, I am sure it tastes that way as well.

[@apefu]

If you only want the dried mushroom for stock a great shortcut is to not wet the mushrooms but to pulverise the mushrooms. It is a workflow game changer and it is super easy to work with different types of dried mushrooms.

[@RedRisotto]

I did this yesterday. It was awesome. The dried mushrooms and nori sheets make the dish. Excellent.

[@RedMachineKieran]

Jaysus, even without the potato it looks mega as a stew! Over chips with cheese sprinkled on top

[@LutfiJC]

Mind=Blown! Chef, you're killin' it out there, mate!

[@izandevainmyheart1129]

Made this before for a handful of guests from all over the world. They were like a pack of wolves devouring bambi. Big hit. So that's what's requested for today's Thanksgiving. Love Busker

[@foodbusker]

Back of the net! Happy thanks giving brother✌️

[@massimopisati7922]

[@ThumpertTheFascistCottontail]

I hate it when that happens.

[@michaelsmith5894]

Hahaaaa

[@AtomicShrimp]

I've got to get some of this RDC beef. BTW, your pie looks great, and I'm not going to dare to criticise - I never thought of using Nori, but sure, that should absolutely work. I want to eat this pie/ All of it. My favourite little flavour bomb in dishes like this is to chop up and add a pickled walnut or two - they have a similar flavour profile to Worcestershire, but with an extra zing of aromatic, resinous spiciness

[@3G6L8]

You're making me hungry!! I should stop watching your videos at 2am in the mornings! Now I got the case of the munchies.

[@blueenglishstaffybreeder6956]

My favourite KZbin chef by a mile

[@rpprt3]

You’re an artist. Looking at the work that went into it and all the ingredients, I was thinking £10.00. It does look like the best cottage pie I’ve ever seen.

[@53205330]

I just found your channel recently and was so intrigued by your Cottage pie recipe that i made it a few days ago. Cottage and Shepherds pie are two of my favorite comfort foods!! I am always on the lookout for different ways of doing them. i pretty much followed your recipe but i could not find mushroom ketchup anywhere, (Portland, Oregon), so i threw in more dried porcini. it was Incredible!! Even better the next day. I think i finally found THE one that will be my go to recipe. For the next time i make it I ordered a bottle of mushroom ketchup and it arrived today from Great Britain. Thanks so much for your great channel. i watch a lot of cooking shows on tv and youtube and right now, yours is my fave!! Terence

[@kzgc8y3n]

I've been watching these videos every day after work - I think you are a great cook. It's interesting to see you meld some French techniques with Japanese. I have high hopes for how this channel might jumpstart a huge career for you as a celebrity chef. Congrats on a great KZbin channel!

[@Bhyren]

The try hardness is completely gone , your new place is definitely letting your sincerity and love for food shine through , great content !

[@carlaheiser3309]

Defo giving this a try. The way those potatoes look on top is all the reason I need!

[@jim477]

Just made this last night for a bunch of my family. Unfortunately didn't have mushroom ketchup so the Tsunami was more of a smaller tidal wave. I also strained all the liquid into a bowl then made a gravy by thickening it with a bit of cornstarch and coated the meat. My family said it was incredible. I'm so excited for lunch to eat the leftovers!

[@blakedemilio1118]

Cmon, mate that looks bloody brilliant! I will be smashing this out on the weekend, I can’t wait. 10 Pounds for that bad boy.

Great, now I want crack.

[@MartinAhlman]

Amazing stuff, also goes well with a stout. Pie loves stout, and so do I.

[@ImyaSmol]

Thanks for the recipe-- Just made this. Umami levels were off the charts, delicious. Edit : Plates licked clean. No shame, can't waste this flavor.

[@christyinthecarolinas]

For those in America, his tomato puree is our tomato paste. This looks amazing. Cottage pie is actually on my menu for this week. I'm so excited!

[@pharoahdust]

I live in San Antonio, Texas, USA. Y’all can’t get much more American than that! I think. I love this show; interesting how he uses American items: Tabasco sauce, Barefoot wine, ketchup (or is it catsup? Thanks.

[@gooseduk213]

Named cottage pie as the mash topping is like the thatch on a traditional cottage. Great recipe mr busker

[@Master-Mo]

This looks so good and this dimples really do elevate it. Never would have thought to add those but it does make a differance... I'd do 8 pounds for one portion! Cheers!

[@hannahplas2495]

That flavour-bomb sound at 1:05 completely freaked out my cat💥🙀😬

[@banksta3]

I'm gonna make this with fish sauce instead of nori, (seaweed) and I'll grind up the dried mushrooms to a powder which will act as a bit of a thickener while still lending the umami profile. Can't wait to make this.

[@Aaron-er4pc]

I am still to cook your recipe. But you are simply fun to watch. Such an entertainer and your recipes look great. Thank you and keep em coming.

[@carnagedogg4294]

I think some mashed anchovies would be nice too,im going to look for that mushroom sauce.Looks delicious

[@trevorlee3991]

Omg this looks heavenly😫

[@andersonstevie904]

Wow! That looks gorgeously delicious!

[@Gordon_L]

Add 25% sweet potato to the mash for even more flavour and more golden crispy bits in the final bake . I cooked and ate this tonight without the seaweed ( don't know where to buy it ) and it's great , better than the last time I cooked it when it lacked a couple of ingredients but still was a hit with those who ate it . Winner .

[@Pedrolisbao]

I would pay 10! Also, now that you have a kitchen, you could get that love of slow stews of yours and direct it towards a Brazilian feijoada. It is out of this world.

[@JH-dv9yo]

Made this, had some crack and then couldn’t eat it. Fs.

[@TheUltimateWriterNZ]

Did you make the crack too?

[@maninblk]

90 seconds in and subscribed! Enough said. Thank you . Food Busker!

[@thetropicaldream5933]

Loving the ideas keep it up. Only thing that I don't agree with is how much red wine you used I think one full glass full is plenty.

[@askquestionstrythings]

I guess something got lost in translation when the English part of my family crossed the pond; this "cottage pie" with ground beef is basically what we always called "shepherd's pie". We always added green beans and shredded carrots to the meat, topping the mash potatoes with slices of Colby-Jack cheese.

[@bcwolters]

I am speechless about the seaweed, I will need to try for myself. Can you for once say with an Italian accent: "Why am I cooking so good?" 10 pounds at least for this anywhere, anytime, with a bit of salad on the side 15 pounds easily! Thanks a million for great new ideas, seaweed, who would have thought of that?B.

[@rontavakoli-JD-MBA]

that looks incredible. bomb recipe.

[@15kilkenny]

I've just done this omg delicious and easy to do. I got the beef from my butchers so probably not as good as the beef you used. Many thanks for this unreal dish

I had a cottage pie with pie crust and it did have potatoes and steak and carrots and onions inside it but it wasn't topped with potato and it was delicious. It was in California at Casa De fruta at the renaissance faire. We had two of those pies and I can't wait to have them again.

[@williammurphy666]

I just paid 24 cdn... about 14 quid for a cottage pie, a good one is epic and had no problem... Also a couple pints with that will make the cold winter tolerable

Sent here from Alex's channel, this one earned my sub! I want to try a few of your dishes, but this one will be my first for sure!

[@CalebRip]

Thanks, was just looking into you're channel through Alex French Guy. Liked it up to know: You wanna tell me that a 10 years old cow tastes good? Tell me something new, when I grew up we had galloways and the best one by far happend to be 12 years old… And now I haven't found a single source for such a good meat in years. And now I love you're channel ;-).

[@beeanoo]

You gained my sub for the proper pronunciation of Worcestershire good on ya mate

[@alexandresobreiramartins9461]

Using the nori was an interesting idea. How about trying konbu extract? So much umami!

[@Hoiafar]

Here's some tips for people that don't want to cook with alcohol: A good substitute is 1 parts chicken stock and 1 parts red wine vinegar (not alcoholic) or balsamic vinegar. When cooking with alcohol we are often told it all evaporates, but it depends on time and heat. Here are some general numbers. Do remember that when adding wine to a dish like this it will also be diluted by all the other ingredients in the dish, further reducing the amount of alcohol in each portion. 15 minutes will reduce by 60%. 30 minutes will reduce by 65%. 1 hour will reduce by 75%. 2 hours by 90%. 2.5 hours by 95%.

[@toddellner5283]

Then you're in luck. This recipe requires that much time to get a nice, non-soupy consistency

[@curtiswilson3269]

Hoiafar you guys do know that the alcohol burns out when you add it in the beginning it's like a rum cake, it's not truly a *rum cake* unless you add the alcohol at the end because less of the alcohol burns out, if any at all!

[@curtiswilson3269]

We can't see the second part of your comment without some effort by the way

[@yesitsvish]

@@curtiswilson3269 the effort of clicking "see more"? breathing and thinking must really tire you out eh?

[@Robfenix]

Reduction in volume is not the same as evaporation of the ethanol. The ethanol will evaporate much faster than those numbers.

[@adampoll4977]

May seem a silly question, but what is the induction cooktop you are using? So many consumer ones have uneven heating hence the question about that obvious commercial unit.

[@JNYC-gb1pp]

You could also top with pureed cooked cauliflower (with some butter and garlic) for a lower carb option

[@JNYC-gb1pp]

You could also soak a kombu piece with the dried mushrooms to add an unmami undertone

[@pol-gj6qm]

Why use seaweed sheets over MSG if you want to up the umami? Either way, your cooking & video presentation skills & choice of title & also background music certainly appeals to me & my demographic... That all said, looks good!
