Cottage Pie Resipi

Sementara mood ada untuk menulis kan, so buat postong (liz dah komen, so kena betulkan) posting dulu ....I am in a melancholic mood today ..baru 3rd Jan and I have already started to work ...tapi momentum tu belum laju lagi ...semalam aku masuk opis 3-4 jam ajer ...but tak kerja sangat ...sembang2 ngan opismate ...had coffee and then dua dua cabut after kerja ala kadar ...today was better..I spent 6.5 hours at work, finished one tasks walaupun spent byk masa on FB, chat and so on ...tadi balik awal tu sebab tak nak alone in the building ...so both of us balik the same time ...uni kami tutup lagi, next monday baru officially open ..

so sebab balik awal, tak tau nak buat apa kat rumah ...aku tido jer lah ahahaha ..bangun tido tetiba dapat ilham nak buat cottage pie ....check2 barang semua ada ..so buat lah ...simple ajer nak buat nya pun ...

all you need is to make the lapisan daging, before topped it with lapisan mashed potatoes

to make lapisan daging, tumis bawang besar, garlic in butter (aku guna butter instead of minyak) supaya wangi ...then add daging cincang (Note kalau guna daging, ia akan dipanggil cottage pie - but kalau guna minced lamb - ianya dipanggil shephard pie)...add carrot and stok daging (sket) ..biarkan till daging masak ...then bila kuah dah kurang add sesudu besar tepung ...and kalau nak add a spoonful of butter ..nie untuk memekatkan kuah ...then add peas (aku masukkan peas lambat sebab aku guna frozen peas) and then add chopped parsley ...salt and pepper and pepper ...

and then buat mashed potatoes ...rebus potatoes ..and masa tengah panas2 tu lenyekkan ...and add a little milk to puff it up ...or some cream kalau nak yang creamier texture ...and my foster mom always add milk and butter in her mashed potatoes mixture ...aku tak boh butter tadi coz i put butter masa add tepung to the minced mixture ...konon nak sihat sket lol

then start to layer it up ...lapisan daging first ...then mash potatoes ...and top with grated cheese ..mine tak letak cheese ..coz i am not a fan of cheese kalau sejuk ...kalau makan panas2 ok ..but i am making this untuk my lunch esok jugak hehehe so tak nak cheese ...instead aku gaul sket cheese in the meat mixture before layering it up...

Now ready nak masuk oven ...preheated oven at 180 degree for 40 mins ...or till the top is brown 

makan panas2 sedap ..with side salad ...or coleslaw
