Sisters in Christ, Come on in and grab a cup of tea.
Let's talk about ...Mom's Easy Shepherd's Pie Recipe.
I hope every one has an opportunity to try a new recipe each week. You know I am an island girl and our recipes is a vast mixture of culture. One of my favorites growing up when I ate red meal was Shepherd's Pie. Shepherd's Pie is an English dish that is tasty and so easy to make.
My mom recipe is simple. We never used traditional vegetables in our pie. I don't know where the inclusion of corns, carrots and peas came from. I don't know which is true to the original English recipe.
Okay, this recipe in Jamaica was made with ground lamb and mashed white yams. In the U.S. it is made with beef and mashed potatoes. I made it below with beef and yes I can season the meat without tasting it, lol. Growing up learning to season meat is serious business you have to taste it, I learned to eyeball it.
If you try the recipe please let me know ho you enjoyed it.
