Half decent sausage shepherds pie recipe
This is one tasty pie. It’s relatively easy to make and it’s getting written down because I tried it and it actually worked out pretty well. Feeds a small army.
Ingredients:
- 8-10 sausages
- 10-12 waxy potatoes diced
- 3-4 good quality tomatos
- 1 brown onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- sea salt
- olive oil
- various spices (I used a garam masala mix and Masterfoods Portuguese chicken seasoning, sumac and cayenne)
- milk
- semolina (optional)
- pre heat the oven as hot as it will go
- lay your sausages out in a big oven baking dish so they cover as much of the surface as possible
- dice your potatoes into 1cm squares so they boil quick. chuck them in a cold water pot with plenty of salt. Crank the gas until they’re well boiled. We’re gonna mash these puppies hard.
- dice up your tomato. Leave it raw and scatter over the sausages and set aside
- cut up your onion nice and fine and coarsely chop your garlic.
- now grab a wok or a pan and warm up your olive oil for about 2 mins
- chuck the spices in the oil and let it mix well. Follow it up with the garlic and let that sit for a minute or two to infuse
- finally throw in the onion and let it all brown nicely and soften up. 2-4 minutes should do it nicely. This is the most important bit
- now throw the onion and spice mix over the sausages and toms. cover in salt
- once your potatoes have boiled, mash them and cover it over the sausages like a pie. Pour over milk to soften the mash
- optionally, sprikle with semolina so get a bit of crunchiness happening.
- throw in the oven for 30 minutes.
