Shepherd’s pie

Posted on March 26, 2026 by Admin

It looks like you’re asking about Shepherd’s pie—maybe you want a quick overview or a recipe. Here’s a clear, classic version:


🥧 What is Shepherd’s Pie?

Shepherd’s pie is a traditional British comfort dish made with:

  • Ground lamb (that’s what makes it “shepherd’s”)
  • Vegetables like carrots, peas, onions
  • A savory gravy
  • Topped with mashed potatoes and baked until golden

👉 If it’s made with beef instead of lamb, it’s technically called cottage pie.


🍳 Simple Shepherd’s Pie Recipe

Ingredients

  • 500g ground lamb
  • 1 onion (chopped)
