Last nights dinner,,, Shepherds Pie... and a rude surprise
My wife had picked up a package of ground lamb and we had planned to use
it for Shepherds pie. I had some potatoes boiling to be mashed for the
topping. I chopped up the onion,a little garlic and a carrot stick. I
heated up the pan and threw the lamb into it to brown. I was using a
spatula to break it up and it smelled really good, but I realized that
it was not the lamb, but herbs. I checked the package and sure enough it
said that it was herbed ground lamb, but not in lettering that was large
enough our bright enough to notice.
We were committed to the Shepherds Pie. Luckily, the herb seasoning was
on the light side and it did not overpower the flavour ingredients I was
using... Worcestershire, ketchup and beef broth. It worked. It turned
out to be the best Shepherds Pie I ever made.
