I have no PIE shortgate. Rather amply supplied thanks...

Well, after 2 sets of cooking (total 4 hours) that amount of mince and bits produced 4 of these portions which can be used in a number of dishes.




So it was one for today and 3 into the freezer to rest near some somewhat notorious, but nevertheless delicious, pies and dodgy weight ripoff Tesco salmon




Just needs mash now, getting it set up and I hope to get it done before noon. I think that cooking as easy as this doesn't need to be rushed, part of the enjoyment is taking your time. Anyway, Roma wanna bildid inna day eh Luigi?

OK... tea drunk, tablets taken.... time to get on with it.

As always setup clean and ready first.


Specialist equipment set



and off we go....



Steamer steaming and butter melting

Great thread mate.

Can I buy a serving from you and do you deliver?

I promise I do not live in the jungles of Thailand!

ok... penultimate steps

Steamed pots into a ricer and away we go



result.... a big bowl of finely riced pots



Add in the melted butter




and out with the wooden spoon



The reward is the smoothest butteriest mash you have ever had.



Time to get the dish out of the fridge and wallop on the mash



then smooth it out



and then make some simple patterns for decorative effect and also to help get some crisping




Ok.... that's it. you could eat it now as it is all cooked but I prefer it browned so I will pop it in the oven this evening.

Some people may have noticed the absence of peas in the mix. That is because I prefer to have them on the side rather than cooked in the pie. Just a personal preference.

To be perfectly honest I haven't a clue. No scales here, as I am neither a baker nor a dealer.

My wife's serving of cottage pie is 500 grams of product and is a proper meal.
