Lamb Shepherd Pie

Lamb Shepherd Pie.

Story begins like this. I wanted to make Beef burger, so I get sis to buy some minced beef from Consfood. When she got home, she brought me a 700g of minced Lamb at RM 17.90 !!!! so expensive ! I 'm like...errr why lamb ? ( sis said: because beef out of stock) what can I do with lamb ? ok deal, I decided to make Lamb-burger then.
How funny, I cant get a good Burger Bun with a dome shape and in cocoa brown colour ! we can't find it, other than those 6 or 4 normal sweet bun packed in a bag sell in bakery shop, which I hate. Can't find good bun = no good burger~!

Lastly, I used Terri's A Very Very Good Cottage Pie recipe. She put double "very" to describe the food, while I give this recipe tripe "very" good !
Very satisfied with the pie. One thing I like about this is the meat filling not much of cheap mixed vege like peas/carrots which sort of distracted from enjoying my steak-pie. Lols


I steamed the potatoes for 20 minutes. Steaming will retain its nutrition ?


I guess this recipe gives a good bolognese sauce too.

lining tomatoes slice on top ...

Now I know...

cottage pie = beef

Shepherd pie = lamb / mutton

chicken??
