Easy Shepherd's Pie

At the last minute, I decided to make this easy shepherd's pie for our dinner.

 Well, this recipe asked for minced meat ( lamb or beef), but I don't have any of these ingredients in my refrigerator... I used black pepper sausages instead . ^ ^  And I also don't have mixed vegetables (corns,peas & carrots) in the fridge, so  I used cauliflower, celery and carrot to make this shepherd pie. To make this pie, vegetable choices is up to your personal taste. You can use broccoli, french beans or any vegetables if you have it in the refrigerator.  ^ ^

Here is a basic recipe for a simple  Shepherd's Pie

5   Russet potatoes

1   onion chopped

1   carrot sliced 

some cauliflower cut into small pieces

50g  butter

Method ;

1. Wash & clean the potatoes,boil the potatoes in the salted water with the skin on.

2. Parboil the cauliflower, carrot and celery in the salted water for about 3 minutes , drained.

3.   While the potatoes are cooking, heat some oil in a pan, saute the sausages, garlic and onion until tender.

4.  Add in the vegetable and fry for one minute, add in the seasoning and fry, add 1/2 cup water and simmer for one minute.Dish out and put into the casserole.
