Shepherd's Pie from Anne Burrell
The leeks in this dish really add flavor and I wouldn't want to substitute for onions here. The red wine and slow cooking develop rich flavors and a nice thick stew/filling for the pie. And using Yukon gold potatoes helps make the mashed potatoes creamy. This is a really great recipe and I've stuck with it to make shepherd's pie.
The recipe calls for lamb shoulder or leg, and I've made it with each on different occasions. Both were great for the dish, but if I had to choose, I prefer shoulder a little more because I found it more tender. I also made this with beef shoulder for friends who didn't like lamb and it turned out just as good. So beef is a great way to keep this dish lower cost.
It does take a few hours to make so it's not for a quick dinner.
My Rating (out of 5): 5
