Being from Australia, cottage pie is a favourite when it comes to comfort food for the family. Overall, this recipe is pretty close to the orignial. Not sure why you would want to add cinnamon to a traditional cottage pie.
To get started with this recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can have cottage pie using 14 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Cottage Pie:
- Prepare 500 g lean beef mince
- Take 1 carrot, diced
- Prepare 1 onion, finely chopped
- Prepare 2 celery sticks, diced
- Get 3 large potatoes cut into large cubes
- Prepare 500 ml beef stock
- Make ready Mixed herbs
- Get Worcestershire sauce
- Prepare Salt and pepper
- Take Garlic paste
- Prepare 1 little red wine
- Make ready Olive oil
- Prepare Milk

I forgot to dot extra butter on top but it still came out crisp with adequately brown. This is a meat and carb heavy dish, so it goes really well with fresh side salads like a Rocket Salad with Balsamic Dressing, or a Garden Salad with French or Italian Dressing. I recently served it with this Carrot Salad with a Honey Dijon Dressing which was a hit!. For a cosy meal on a cold winter night, try it with a side of Glazed Roasted Carrots and Sautéed.
Steps to make Cottage Pie:
- Preheat the oven to about 190°. Heat a little olive oil in a large sauce pan and add the onion, carrot and celery (apparently called a mirepoix). Cook for a few minutes.
- Crumble in the mince to the mirepoix and cook until brown, stirring with a fork rather than a spoon (stops the mince from clumping together).
- Add in a little red wine, a little Worcestershire sauce, some garlic paste, mixed herbs, salt and pepper, all to taste and then add the beef stock. Simmer, covered for about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a separate pan, cook the potatoes until soft, about 15 minutes, then mash with a little butter and milk until smooth and set aside.
- Transfer the minced beef and vegetables to an oven dish.
- Layer the mashed potatoes on top and fluff with a fork. Cook in the oven for about 30 minutes until the potatoes are nice and golden. Enjoy 😋
Cottage pie is a meat pie that is topped with mashed potatoes and baked in the oven. Now, cottage pie and shepherd's pie differ only in the type of ground meat they are made with. Cottage pie is actually older than shepherd's pie. Potatoes were affordable ingredients that were often used by the peasants, who lived in cottages.
