Irish Shepherd's Pie

If you have an Irish hubby who eats mostly Asian food the rest of the year, you try to give him an Irish meal on Saint Patrick's day.  This is from the blog of wholefoodsmarket.  We all love it.  My oven just don't brown things evenly.  I added green scallions to add color.


Shepherd's Pie Ingredients:

3 pounds potatoes (about 8 potatoes)

3 large organic carrots, diced

1 large organic white onion, diced

1 tablespoon cooking oil

1 pound minced meat (lamb of mutton for a traditional Shepherd’s pie; beef as an alternative)

3 tablespoons tomato paste

1 cup hot chicken stock

A few sprigs of fresh parsley

2 tablespoons butter, melted

½ cup milk

Salt and pepper to taste

 

I used beef for the meat and scallions instead of parsley.
