Great stuff Rik. I’ve always found the pretty-much essential thing is the age and fattiness of the sheep involved. Taste-wise (even if not fashion-wise!) fat is GOOD. In my Highland Scottish childhood we all ALWAYS made it out of old-as-possible MUTTON, if that wasn’t available (but it always was), then HOGGET, and never out of relatively ‘tasteless’ lamb. We still stick to our own ‘old’ minced-mutton but SADLY that seems to be getting harder to find in your average butchers. We’ve all always browned the mutton-mince well first before adding the more-tender veg. And isn’t the choice of potatoes important too? They do need to be good and fluffy. As a final thing, out of choice I’d always leave the well-browned (not just ‘beige’) mince and its softened veg to ‘develop’ in the fridge for 3-4 days before adding the ‘ploughed-field’ topping and finishing it in the oven. I like to think that I could tell the difference blindfold! (We often then freeze it before the topping stage too, then defrost it, add the spuds and then into our old-fashioned oven for half an hour or so)

Spectacular, Rick! And easy!! Bravo!!! Because German guests were visiting "Stateside" and wanted to try BISON, which is a VERY LEAN meat, I modified the recipe by adding more butter in the onion/garlic/veg stir! Admittedly, I was in a hurry, because everyone was hungry--I cubed the taties small to boil faster, and hurried the celery, carrots, and peas a bit. But the flavors of all came through, and the carrots and peas were NOT mushy. A total success!! Thank you! And we were obliged to retitle it "Prairie Pie." haha

A lovely recipe! One of my favourite dishes. Sometimes I'll add parsnips to it as well. The sweetness and sharpness they add compliment the lamb nicely. That's a very good tip about not 'over mashing' the potatoes. It causes the starches to over develop and makes the potatoes more paste like. Thanks for mentioning the difference between cottage and shephard's pie. In the US many times, they substitute beef and still refer to it as 'shephard's pie'. It is harder to find lamb in some places. If you think about it though, a shephard tends to sheep/lamb not cattle, but I think they use beef for convenience. Cheers mate!

When I was growing up, it was common practice to take the leftover roast from Sunday dinner and put it through a meat grinder (almost all households had one) and that was the basis for shepherd's (cottage) pie. This was the typical Monday dinner. After I grew up, no one had meat grinders anymore, so shepherd's pie was made with store-bought mince. It was never quite the same, but still remains for me a much-loved dish.

New subscriber from New Hampshire here... and have to say I love how laid back you are about cooking. I love Cottage Pie, because here I don't have access to lamb (not even sure I've ever eaten lamb). lol I just got a Kalorik dual air fry oven which is perfect for the two of us. I wondered if you would consider making simple complete meal videos in the dual? When in your 70s it's a little daunting trying to figure out what cooks when and how to layer both sides so everything cooks... even to the point of having a desert cooking or ready to cook when something else comes out. I am hoping with your laid back style you could make it seem less daunting. Some ideas would be great, but I'm not sure you have time in a video for all of that. Love your channel with your recipes from around the world (even Southern U.S.)! Shirley

In NZ we make our Shepherds Pie using left over roast hoggett/wether/ewe. We put the meat through either an old fashioned hand cranked mincer that we screw onto the bench (👍for best results) or through a mincer attachment on a Kenwood or similar. We also put quartered onions through the mincer, catching the juice from the onion and adding some or all of it, back into the minced meat and onion mix. Add Tomato sauce, p &s and top it with fluffy mashed potato, create furrows using a fork for knobs of butter to melt into when its in the oven - makes a lovely crunchy top. Best served with tomato sauce & buttered bread😋 No need for other veg as we've had our 5 plus the day before with the roast😛 That's Real shepherds pie. Anything else is classed as Cottage pie down here.
