that sounds so impressive.
i know i've had shepperds pie before. uhhh.. i think. maybe not. just sounds very familiar. |
normal shepperds pie is basically a stew topped with mashed potatoes and served warm...winter comfort food...this is cold...and a much lighter flavor...great for summer....new summer comfort food! |
Since my DH is Bristish, Shepherds Pie is a staple on our winter menu. I think we will try this version for spring.
Thanks Darcy! Nice to see you back after your yummy vacation Lark (Ambrose's Mommy to Be in 2 days!) |
Sounds very good? How much chicken? Did you mean 1 1/2 lb.?
Amanda |
It does sound YUMMY!! |
oops...yes I did mean 1 1/2 lb chicken...also I forgot to add that you need to take the pie OUT of the springform pan before putting all the garnish on it.... |
Way down here in the South, Shepherds Pie is one layer of cooked hamburger, layer of whole kernel corn and topped with creamed potatoes and cheese. |
Did you slice it before taking it out of the pan? Does it congeal enough to stay in that pie shape & be cut afterward?
I want to make this for my book club meeting, but I think I'll try it myself first! Do you have Paula Deen's new cook book? The one where she's put together receipes for meals for different occasions? There's a menu plan for, I think it's a bridge club, that has a yummy sounding artichoke/shrimp dish. Just wondering if anyone has seen it or tried it? It can be served hot or cold. If I can remember, I'll bring the book back to work with me after lunch & give you the recipe. |
you take it out of the pan first... unwrap the plastic that covered the top.. put a plate over it..flip it..it should stay together. if not take a spatula and smooth the potatoes....I also drizzled the top with some really good olive oil! |
Darcy, this sounds good! I'm sad that I never got the springform pan from anyone when I got married... |
go buy one....lol...i got mine at tuesday morning...about 8 dollars....use a pie pan...you line it with saran wrap anyway...it still should fall out when you flip it.... |
yeah...they're not terribly expensive. Go to Bed, Bath & Beyond and use the 20% off coupons they're always sending in the mail.
Mine is on permanent loan to my sister, so I'll have to get a new one, too. |
I printed off this recipe & took it home & put it on my desk. SOMEBODY got it off my desk & chewed it up. Hmmmm....wonder who?!?! |
