cottage pie is one of those classic
0:02
comfort foods just like lasagna that you
0:05
can't go wrong with i usually like to
0:07
make mine with leftover roast beef and
0:09
leftover roast vegetables but I didn't
0:12
have those today so I started with 100 g
0:15
of smoky bacon uh chopped into small
0:18
pieces i cooked that until the fat came
0:20
out then I put in about 500 g of chunky
0:24
cut beef now you can use mints but I do
0:27
not like to use mints in my cottage pie
0:30
chunky slowcooked beef is so much better
0:33
then add about 200 gram of carrots just
0:36
chopped into small pieces delaze with
0:39
some red wine then add 800 mls of
0:45
cube some rosemary and some thyme then
0:48
put the lid on and simmer for as long as
0:50
you've got i did 3 hours after that time
0:54
you can add a load of frozen peas i like
0:57
to add frozen peas to mine so that you
0:59
don't have to serve those on the side
1:01
it's just an extra job isn't it thicken
1:04
it with corn flour mixed with water and
1:06
then get your buttery mashed potato that
1:10
is key spoon that on top and then top
1:13
that with a bit of cheese pop in the
1:15
oven for 20 minutes or so and you've got
1:18
one of the best comfort foods of all
1:20
time if you are lucky enough to have
1:23
roast dinner leftovers to make this from
1:25
then don't use beeftock um use gravy
1:29
that will be stunning and any leftover
1:32
roast veggies can go in here any at all
1:35
you can even top it with crushed roast
