Shepherd's Pie
Shepherd's pie is a baked savory dish featuring a base of seasoned minced lamb (traditionally) or mutton cooked with vegetables like peas, carrots, and onions, topped with a layer of mashed potatoes. Distinguished from cottage pie by its use of lamb rather than beef, this comfort food balances carbohydrates from the potato crust with protein from the meat and fiber from the vegetables. The dish is typically browned under a broiler to create a crisp potato surface, with variations sometimes incorporating cheese or additional herbs in the topping.
