Sheperd's Pie p. 235

I realize I'm posting this in March but actually made it first in February and then again yesterday (Mar 2.) Yes, I made it twice. Since I had leftover ingredients, I made it for a new mother in our neighborhood. BTW - 6 week old Violet is adorable.

I followed the recipe - almost to the letter because I cannot conceive of Sheperd's Pie without green beans. It was a staple of my weekly menus for many years!

All ready to go!

In progress -

Served the entree with green salad with blueberries and rice vinegar dressing. Everything was yummy!

I forgot to say that I made my own vegetable broth; threw ends of carrots & celery, half an onion, mushroom stems into a pot. Browned them a little then added water, garlic, peppercorns, thyme stem & parsley stems. Boiled then simmered as I chopped and cooked the veggies.

Oh, and I used some of the leftover mashed sweet potatoes from my previous venture.

This recipe was easy and delicious. I will definitely make it again (but always with green beans.)
