🇮🇪 Ireland recipe
Shepherds Pie
While shepherd's pie exists across the British Isles, the Irish version holds a special place in the country's culinary heart, born from the tradition of using leftover Sunday roast lamb. The filling is a rich ragout of minced lamb with onions, carrots, and peas in a deeply savory gravy, topped with a generous layer of buttery mashed potato that is forked into peaks so it turns gloriously golden and crispy in the oven.
