How To Make Trini Shepherd's Pie | Foodie Nation x Dev

Get ready to mash potatoes because this week’s ‘How To?’ episode is all about Shepherd’s Pie:
Yield - 6 to 8 Servings
Ingredients
Mashed potato:
English Potato - 3 lbs
Butter (Salted or Unsalted) - 2-3 tbsp
Cooking Margarine - 2-3 tbsp
Table Cream (or 3 tbsp of Evaporated Milk) - 2-3 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Black Pepper - to taste
Filling:
Minced Beef - 1-2lbs (DO NOT WASH!)
Vegetable Oil - ¼ cup
Diced Spanish Onion - 1 medium
Chopped Garlic - 2-3 tbsp
Chopped Pimentos - 2-3 pimentos
Chopped Chive - 3 tbsp
Chopped Chadon Beni - 2 tbsp
Fine Thyme - 2 tsp (leaves only, no stem)
Tomato Paste - 2 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Black Pepper - to taste
Topping:
Grated New Zealand Cheddar Cheese - ¾ to 1 cup
Method
1. Peel, cut and wash potatoes into 2 inch cubes.
2. Add to a pot of boiling, salted water.
3. Cook until very tender, a fork must go through it easily with no resistance (about 15
minutes).
4. Once cooked, drain potatoes and return to the same pot to help retain temperature.
5. Immediately add all the remaining mashed potato ingredients.
6. Mash and mix thoroughly with a potato masher. Ensure the potato is as smooth as
possible with no lumps. For a smoother mash, add more butter.
7. Set aside.
8. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
9. Heat a sauté pan over medium to high heat.
10. Once heated, add vegetable oil.
11. When the oil is hot, add in the beef.
12. Break up the beef and allow to cook until it turns light brown in colour (about 5
minutes).
13. Stir in all other ingredients except for the tomato paste, salt and black pepper.
14. Cook for another 5-7 minutes.
15. Add in tomato paste, salt and black pepper and allow to cook for another 3 minutes.
16. Taste for salt and adjust if needed.
17. After the meat is cooked, immediately grease your baking dish with butter. We used
a 9” by 13” Pyrex Dish.
18. Add half of your mashed potatoes to greased dish and spread evenly throughout.
19. Top with a layer of your meat mixture and cover with mashed potato.
20. Finish with a layer of grated cheese.
21. Place in oven and allow to bake for 35 minutes or until cheese is golden brown.
22. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes.
23. Enjoy!

I do a version of this with a Sweet Potato bottom layer and White Potato top layer. Glad to see you made the Cottage Pie distinction. Great job!

[@kccbtujfo6346]

Gotta try the sweet potato bottom next time. Thanks.

[@nannettedelas5251]

Never thought if using that variation, ty. Also the "new" terminology (Cottage Pie) was, even though a shocker, very enlightening!

[@lisalalman4318]

That pie looks delicious an mouth watering an d bake chicken next time would be nice

[@PaulaKimble]

Lovely Shepherd's pie, now how about Cheese Cake 😊

[@annettegeorge8287]

The next dish can you make lemon chicken

[@belindaplummer936]

I made it this week with a salad, sometimes I put olives when cooking the meat, it gives it a really nice flavour, good job 👍😋😁

[@f.-j.j.5738]

My husband doesn't eat meat but I did this with tuna and it was amazing. Properly seasoned, fried with tomato paste, with the least amount of moisture possible and not overcooked, the tuna mixture could have been mistaken for ground meat.

[@curtisthomas2670]

Try soya mince. There's a soya lasagna recipe on the channel

[@thomas25082]

Isnt tuna a meat ? How did you get around that

[@DehGoattt]

@thomas25082 I also wanna know the same cause it have people who don't eat meat and I heard they eat fish I'm like isn't that meat also

[@julesa5798]

[@philipbarnwell7533]

Hi Just a suggestion. Top with scoops of potatoes then spread potatoes evenly over the filling. An ice cream scoop makes this easy.

[@sangm1561]

Nice! But I add mixed vegetables cooked up in the ground beef, or whatever meat you use…one way to get your veggies to make it a main course meal.

[@JerisMark]

Growing up I spent my summers in Trinidad and my aunty would make this on sundays. This brings back so much memories. Another great video.

[@lenamarcano3469]

That's the Way I make my Pie I can't see how people puts Beef First then potato? When you cut The pie the beef goes spread out

[@sherlynmonteil6830]

Shephers pie us made from lamb and cottage pie us made from beef

[@sweets9828]

It's tradition to eat some of the cheese while you're prepping for real

[@awendaawenda8011]

It’s different than Shepard’s pie as the hamburger, onions and celery are cooked through and then add corn or whatever other veggie you like. Then the mashed spuds go on top. I love that there are so many varieties and everyone has their own little spin on this delicious dish. One question though, as hamburger is about 30% fat, why add the oil? Good job.

[@dianawhite419]

Delicious I can’t wait to make one because I haven’t eaten that meal in years thank you for your recipe

[@trinidiana]

Love you guys. Great recipe. I do it the same way with the only addition I add a can of corn and peas and carrots to the mince. My children adore this dish and are always begging for it. But I tell them it’s easy but there are plenty steps and it’s time consuming. Going to make some this weekend

[@matthewlutchman2949]

Yes in England they call it cottage pie cause shepherd's pie is made with mince lamb

[@MrJakeMallard]

In TnT it's called Sheppard 's pie for a reason

[@matthewlutchman2949]

@@MrJakeMallard and that reason is?

[@karminiparsan9256]

Looks great guys..but Kezzie a good thing to do is eyeball half of the potato and spread both times evenly..very tasty looking👌👌

[@Artkidtek]

So the only thing that made it trini was the pimento? I thought pimento were black ⚫️ 🤔

[@curtisthomas2670]

Pimento or pimiento is a sweet savory non spicy chili. What you're talking about is dried allspice berries also called pimento in Jamaica

[@shemillebrooks5365]

[@martinshepherd8041]

I think you need to either stay out the kitchen or stop cooking British food

[@gailweekes5182]

To avoid the mixture from getting into the mash potatoes just piped the mashed potatoes onto the mixture.

[@deboraalexis4016]

So I here never did rises beef! But one day I tried it out only to see the difference! I rises with half a lemon! Not bad the taste was fresher and taste was good! And this was 90 % beef! But the season on the beef even better! Love the pie!!❤ thanks

[@islandgirl3330]

[@Dr.John1975]

I made this cottage pie and it was sooo good!!! My opinion is use ground lamb to make it true shepherds pie. Big ups for this

So I have a Trinidadian boyfriend, and I am trying to learn to cook cultural dishes for him. I've tried to learn from his family, but they go way too fast and sometimes I don't understand what they are saying...lol. What other dishes can I start with so he feels more "at home" when I cook for him? (Breakfast, lunch, or dinner meals).

[@leahalexander2209]

You can surprise him make him some sorrel, jerk chicken and rice and peas.

[@Soulbirdami]

Just go through all the vids posted on this channel.
