An authentic shepherd’s pie is made from minced lamb, onion, carrots and peas covered in a rich gravy and enclosed in a mashed potato topping. One way to enhance the taste of shepherd’s pie is to add a recipe mix. That’s what I did recently when I used Colman’s Shepherd’s Pie Recipe Mix.
Ingredients
Colman’s Shepherd’s Pie Recipe Mix contains wheat flour, dried tomato, cornflour, dried onion, dried garlic, ground sage, black pepper and other ingredients. If you are allergic to eggs or milk, you will need to avoid this product, as Colman’s Shepherd’s Pie Recipe Mix contains traces of eggs and milk. Each 50g recipe pack is enough to feed a family of 4. Colman’s Shepherd Pie Recipe Mix does not contain any artificial colours, preservatives or MSG.
Alternative Serving Suggestion
If you would like to try an alternative serving suggestion, try Colman’s suggestion of using 2 large mashed parsnips and 3 mashed sweet potatoes, along with 2tbps of Colman’s wholegrain mustard for an extra kick.
Nutrition
Each meal for one nutrition guidelines includes the following values. There are 460 calories (23%), 9.6g sugars (11%), 6.4g saturated fat (32%) and 1.90g salt (32%). If you are watching your waistline, you will need to go easy on Colman’s Shepherd’s Pie Recipe Mix, as it is quite high in sugars, saturated fat and salt.
I am pleased to report that Colman’s Shepherd’s Pie Recipe Mix helped to enhance the taste of the shepherd’s pie. The herbs and spices included in the mix meant that the finished dish did not require any extra seasoning.
Cooking Method
After browning the mince and onion, stir Colman’s Shepherd’s Pie Recipe Mix into 300ml (1/2 pint) of water and then add to the mince and onion to form a gravy, along with the peas and carrots. Bring the ingredients to a boil and then transfer to an ovenproof dish. Spoon the mashed potato over the mince, onion and vegetable mixture and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
Colman’s Shepherd’s Pie Recipe Mix is a simple, tasty way to enhance shepherd’s pie. But go easy on this product, as it is high in saturated fat and salt.
