-- RECIPE --
▪2.5lb/1200g peeled russet potatoes
▪350g or about 2med onions, chopped
▪200g or 2-3 large carrots, medium diced
▪200g or 3-4 ribs celery, medium diced
▪200g or about ½ bulb fennel, medium diced
▪20g or 4-5 cloves garlic, chopped
▪40g or 3Tbsp olive oil
▪3lbs/1.5kg ground lamb (sub lean beef if you can’t find lamb)
▪salt
▪250g or 1c dry red wine (pinot noir, chianti, cab, etc…)
▪50g or 3 ½ Tbsp tomato paste
▪50g or 2 ¾ Tbsp beef paste (better than bouillon if you can find it)
▪50g or 3 ¾ Tbsp worcestershire
▪2g or 1t black pepper
▪2g or 2t fresh thyme, chopped
▪25g or 3 ½ Tbsp all purpose flour (sub gf flour or corn starch)
▪450g or 1 3/4c beef stock (sub chicken)
▪15g or 1/4c parsley, chopped
▪150g or 1 1/4c frozen peas
▪115g/1 stick unsalted butter, melted
▪125g or 3/4c heavy cream
▪125g or 1/2c sour cream
▪125g or 1c grated parmesan
▪3 egg yolks
Add potatoes to a stock pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium low and cover. Cook for 30-40min or until a knife or cake tester doesn’t meet resistance when inserted. Drain and pass through a potato ricer.
Stir in melted butter, cream, sour cream, parm, and two very large pinches of salt. Taste for seasoning. Add more salt if needed. Stir in egg yolks.
Toss all cut veggies together in a bowl.
Heat a large heavy bottomed pot over high. When hot, add olive oil and ground lamb and break apart while cooking. It should take about 5 minutes for the water to cook off then 5-10 more minutes to brown meat.
When meat has begun to take on color and brown fond is forming in the bottom of the pot, add veggies and 1Tbsp 15g of salt. Stir to combine and cook for 3-4 more min until veg has begun to soften. Add wine to deglaze pot, scraping up fond on the bottom.
Stir in tomato paste, bouillon, worcestershire, and black pepper. Once wine is mostly reduced, stir in thyme and flour. Cook until bottom of the pot glazes up with fond again, then add stock. Bring to a simmer then cover and lower heat to medium low to simmer until sauce is reduced by half and veggies are tender, about 10 min. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt if needed.
Off heat, stir in parsley and peas.
Scoop filling into a 9”x13” (23cm x 33cm) baking dish. Press into dish and smooth to create an even layer. Spoon mashed potato mixture over the top and spread into even layer. Use a spoon or knife to “rough up” the top of the potatoes. You’re creating texture that can get crisp here. Feel free to be creative. Top with parmesan cheese.
Place baking dish on a sheet tray and bake in a preheated 425F/220C oven for 25min. After 25 min, move dish under a high broiler for a minute or so until top is golden and crusty - keep an eye during broiling because potatoes can burn quickly.

    As someone who has delved into the depths of mastering shepard's pie, big time love for sharing these secrets with the masses. The amount of truly mediocre shepard's pie recipes on the internet is staggering. Getting that luscious creamy, meaty, complex gravy is so crucial. Definitely more of a fan of the yukon gold potatoes for this, but I might have to try busting out the russets one more time soon.

    I've made shepherd's pie a number of ways over the years, usually with beef, and I add a layer of corn as well. I simply don't understand the concept of 'soupy' or 'boring' when it comes to this dish - it should be an explosion of many flavours.

    Brian, first off, let me say how much I enjoy your videos. I made your Tiramisu the other day, and it was amazing. I know you sense a "but" coming on. Well, here it is. I'm from the UK, which is the home of Shepherd's Pie. I've been making it for years, and the beauty of Shepherd's Pie is capturing the delicious combination of flavours that the British have developed over the years. Those flavours are roasted meat, veg and potatoes. They do not include the flavours of our Southern European neighbours like Italy and France. No, there is no wine, tomato, garlic or parmesan in an excellent Shepherd's pie. Although Worcestershire Sauce is typically English, it certainly doesn't belong in Shepherd''s Pie, either. I won't get into whether or not a cutable Shepherd's Pie is preferable to a more relaxed dish. I've had both many times. In any case, keep up the great work. You are definitely the best cook on the Internet. 👍🏻

    Looks like a fantastic recipe. Personally I hate hate HATE fennel, so one substitution I would make is to simply replace the fennel with some finely chopped leek. Another sub I recommend trying is to replace the wine with a dark porter beer. I wouldn't say it's better than the wine, nor is it worse, it's just different, and both are worth trying for everyone to see which they prefer. Last, one addition I would make, when adding the thyme try augmenting that by adding a little rosemary at the same time. Other than that I gotta say this looks ridiculously good.
