I followed the recipe for everything except the green peas coz I do not have them on hand. I use a bigger onion instead. I forgot to dot extra butter on top but it still came out crisp with adequately brown. There are many variations of the recipe, but the defining ingredients include minced or ground beef with onions (and sometimes other vegetables) in.
Cottage pie start cooking:
- Brown the mince. Cut all the vegetables in little dices and add to the meat. Fry on a medium heat for 20min. Then add the seasonings and fry a bit longer..
- Add the tomato puree and fry for a minute over a high heat. Then sprinkle in the flour and mix well. If you use the wine pour in now, and let it reduce a bit. Then add the broth, bay leave and thyme and simmer uncovered for 45min. Add the frozen peas when it done..
- Boil the potatoes and carrots and make a nice creamy mash. Add the cheese to the mash as well. Add the mince in an ovenproof dish. Add the mash on top..
- Make a pattern in the mash with a fork. Put it in the oven 220 degrees until golden. Enjoy <3.
This is a meat and carb heavy dish, so it goes really well with fresh side salads like a Rocket Salad with Balsamic Dressing, or a Garden Salad with French or Italian Dressing. I recently served it with this Carrot Salad with a Honey Dijon Dressing which was a hit!. For a cosy meal on a cold winter night, try it with a side of Glazed Roasted Carrots and Sautéed. A traditional cottage pie is made with ground beef and topped with mashed potatoes. We used potato slices, which saves time and looks good, too.
