Hi, it looks great ... only thing I do differently is get a pan, sweat down onions, carrots, garlic and celery, then add the mince to the pan ... keep it all moving until mince is brown, then add the wine to cook off, then add the flour (off the heat) then add stock bit by bit, then after it's reduced, add the tomato purée, and the Worcester sauce. Simmer until thickens (stir occasionally) ... just before putting mixture in baking dish, add the frozen peas. Then top with your lovely mashed potatoes. 👍
Great way to do it. Personally I like to add the tomato puree before the liquid so that it browns off a little. Yours is a nice recipe. Worcestershire sauce adds so much flavour.
My mum used to put cheese into the mashed potatoes, used the tines of a fork to run along the mashed potatoes to give it loads of crispy ridges, also slices of tomato on top for each portion. Coming in after playing out in the snow to a plateful of it was bliss.
That tv looks real nice! I’m from the north of England and when I was young my grandmother used to make stuff like cottage pie’ hot pot ‘sausage casserole, and one of my favourite dessert was rice pudding, After my grandmother passed away I inherited her had written cook books she had been writing for about 50 years it is my prised possession !!!!
Yep, looks good. Comfort food for a cold day and we have plenty of those in the UK. Personally, I make it a lot simpler than that. Basically all I do is the ground beef, an onion, a carrot, salt and pepper and a mash topping and that's it. I forgo the wine, and peas are usually a side and maybe sauteed with celery if you like. In Sheffield (UK) we never use Worcestershire Sauce. We used a product called Henderson's Relish which is a similar product but not as sharp in taste and it has a fuller/rounder flavour. We splash it on when the pie is on the plate
Well done 👏 the whole idea is making it your own. I can’t do spice but I know my nephew would devour it. Try a little more gravy and I love bread and butter with my mash it’s deslish. I would love to see you make a British beef stew and dumplings 👌 comfort food at its finest. Much love to you, wifey and ya family x
I use grated carrots and obviously don't add the "Kalani extras", but do season with salt and cracked black pepper. BTW ... if you do a shepherds pie (w/lamb) try adding a tin of baked beans to the meat mix ... it works really well!
As a Brit, I make mine almost exactly the same as you except I would sweat the onions, carrot and celery first before adding the mince. It does make a difference. I also add garlic to mine and I use a little smoked paprika.
As a proud traditional English Auntie who lives alone in my cottage with my cats I can say that your cottage pie looks absolutely lovely!!!! Some lovely green peas and gravy on the side would be my only additions for this gorgeous pie. Proper comfort! To answer a previous comment about 'starching out the pots'...for a pie like this where you want the mash to be stiff rather than creamy, you don't need to...but there is absolutely no harm in doing so and it would not effect the pie topping if you just add less butter and milk when mashing the pots. If you are making roasties or wedges then that is when 'starching' is noticed more because it effects the outside edges. Also your casserole dish was absolutely spot on. There will always be regional variations to the meat recipe, some people ad wine some don't, some add garlic some don't, some use Bisto, some use no tomato, etc etc. Your final pie looked perfect and looked like it tasted like a Classic Cottage Pie. Sorry for the long message :) take care and all the best x
@@annother3350 Yea fair enough, I know people that use tomato puree and some don't, I guess it is one of those dishes where you can make it how you like it. I like it made using bisto! :)
The beauty of ‘home’ dishes, is there are no exact recipes, every one is an interpretation of what you like, what you have but the results are always, comfort, nostalgia and sharing!❤
Another great effort, definitely more fancy than mine but looks really tasty. If you find your mash is often lumpy try getting hold of a potato ricer, like a giant garlic press and gives really smooth mash.
outstanding as a former british army chef I would serve that even like the idea of the extra spices i would eat it but not sure about anyone else i follow you on tiktok and love how youve embraced britishness
Just sat down to eat some homemade cottage pie and this popped up on my suggestions. That looked really delicious, every family has there own variations on the regular recipe so the extra spices are all good. The only suggestions would be on your method and cooking pots, like sweating the onions first and using a bigger pot to put everything in, but all things considered very well done 😀👍
I once cooked cottage pie for visiting Americans we met on holiday in France, I cooked mine using diced shin of beef...it was so good that they asked the next night if we had anymore...fortunately we had some in the freezer..ps, no cheese on top..
Looks yum ! As a Brit this is a normal staple during winter … you can also add grated cheese to your mash , then mash it in and spread on top … this dish can be cooked multiple ways with different ingredients like mushrooms for personal taste
Looks great, i wouldn't do too much different, i sometimes add a bit of thyme if i remember. Beef stock gravy and ketchup is a must and maybe a side of broccolli and cauliflower. I'm also a cheese works with everything kinda guy :)
a lot of tomato paste need to cut back on that, I also add a stock of 1 cube of oxo beef stock and 2 good teaspoons of marmite, with the Worcestershire sauce, a shake of soy sauce and garlic, dried mixed herbs.
Great job bro I’m from England I personally wouldn’t put the cayenne and paprika in but respect your choice I like to let my bottom layer cool / chill before adding the mash I sometimes change out the milk in the mash for cream I also add extra gravy when I serve it Also Cottage pie = HP sauce on top Shepard’s pie = mint sauce on top I also sometimes make cottage pie butties (cottage pie in between two slices of white bread)
Next time in the UK you should goto Cheddar and try their Cave Aged Cheddar. Its amazing for melting as it goes super smooth and gooey and just tastes amazing! (Not cheap mind)
Good job, mate! I also put slices of tomato on top of mine. I don’t eat it though - I’m vegetarian for medical reasons. I repeat my process but with quorn, for myself. 😊
Yes u smashed it lad! 10/10 i expect u being murica to make the mash potato into liquid potato lol thankfully they were firm with texture not too wet! And yes definitely cheese on top! Yorky puds be gr8 with this fill them with little spoonfuls of it.
That looks really good but I don't add the spices or the cheese and make it just a little bit wetter than yours, still yummy and serve it with cabbage, one of my favourite winter meals
Hi I’m from the uk and tbh I’ve never used tomato puree or Worcestershire sauce or wine. I usually like a good meaty gravy with garlic and herbs, all the veg you’ve used and meat with at least 20% fat content, yours is bit like a Spaghetti bolognaise without the pasta but it’s a reasonable attempt and no paprika or cayenne pepper ha bless ya and the mash is nice and yes to cheese, it looks delicious though and I’d eat it
Im not sure exactly what you've tried to make so far but if not toad in the hole then that! especially as you're working on your Yorkshire pudding game. Toad in the hole with mash and onion gravy with a sice of peas or carrots or something would be my recommendation to try make next!
The only thing I'd really do different is skip the Worcester sauce because I don't eat fish. There are alternatives out there like mushroom ketchup or a sauce called Hendo's that's popular in parts of Yorkshire, so I'd just use them instead, and/or a good stock.
Going through the comments and it seems not very many actually watched before giving a tip on how to make it. I have seen add tomato puree, worstershire sauce, and cheese. All three of which you added 😂😂 The peas you used were what we all use as well, I can't remember the last time I had "Fresh" peas. It looked pretty banging, and im gonna try it some day with cayenne and paprika in it to try.
English man here - just some tips for your cottage pie. Bake it in the oven WITHOUT the cheese on top, then take it out, add the cheese and put it under the grill. Makes it lovely and crisp all over. Also, add some Worcestershire sauce to the meat and some white pepper. Pour the meat sauce into the dish and let it cool down to almost cold, THEN add the mash. Putting the cheese on first prevents the mash underneath from crisping. Add it at the end then grill. Cheers bro.
100 Best Dishe in the World - This came in 30th but called Escondidinho and Brazilian - typical. Escondidinho translates to Shepherd pie. I always forget the cheese...and would like to try some wine or beer to the meat. Homely, warming comfort food great for winter.
SEASONING!! Salt added to potatoe water and salt and pepper ( minimum) to meat. Traditionally, the dish cooked without cheese on top. However, every recipe is up to customisation
Nice gizmo for peeling the potatoes. Have you thought about cutting the washed peels into manageable lengths and deep frying them? 2nd time watching your channel - will subscribe . All the very best to you both and your channel. Rab a chef from Scotland.❤
I'm British and I add cumin, paprika and chilli. The original dish is not highly spiced but everyone makes their own version. We do love spices in the UK but also like to enjoy the taste of quality ingredients.
The tomato paste is something I never put in mine. I also use a red wine stock cube instead of red wine because I can drink alcohol because of medication. If you add tomato add a splash of milk to get rid of the acidity. If you like spice try curry paste to add the spice. You can add cooked swede and cabbage to the mash with the butter which really boosts the flavour.
Looks luscious Kalani.... Try adding a tin of chopped tomatoes and just a teaspoon of tomatoes paste another time you make it.... Plus have other veg on the side as well like a nice savoy cabbage.... But yours looks brilliant.....xx
Looking pretty good, personally follow my grandmothers recipe for this you got in ingredients correct the only thing I would say to me is “wrong” is the order that you did things. Brown mince, add onion brown it off a little, add garlic cook till can smell the garlic, add red wine and reduce, add Worcestershire sauce and reduce slighlty, add tomao purée cook till combined, add beef stock, add herbs and spices, add half precooked carrots to the mixture and peas simmer till softened, add mixture to oven dish cover with mash potatoes make lines on top with fork, put small knobs of butter over the top, place in oven till light golden brown then add the cheese and cook continue to cook in oven till golden brown and melted cheese
You did a Fab Job 👌but for me no peas lol i make it alot here in the UK & also a chicken or beef casserole in the winter time too or Soups are easy to make👍🏻🥰
Your next ultimate comfort food challenge perfect for winter is to make a hearty beef stew (with Guinness in it) and dumplings. Use beef shin or similar stewing steak which will break down when cooked.
I don't put tomato puree in mine. I brown mince & onions, add veg, Oxo stock cubes, tsp mixed herbs, white pepper, glug Worcester sauce. When cooked I stir in a tin of baked beans & thicken with gravy granules.
Add a spoonful of horseradish sauce to the meat when you cook it, and grated cheddar on top is a must. You’ll thank me next time. I don’t use tomato or wine or nutmeg as the horse radish is overpowering to them. But it makes it soooo yummy
You are right this is comfort food and as such you make it how you like it not how you are told you like it. I think we all vary the recipe a bit and thats totally fine there is no singular authentic recipe. Many of our traditional dishes are made from food thats seasonally available and also takes into account the need for something warming and comforting due to our some what inclement weather. PS make this the day before somehow warming it up the next day to eat takes it to the next level.
Looks epic. One thing I would do is add some bisto gravy to the meat before u put it in the dish and put the mash on top. But hats off to you that looks incredible 🤤 yes to answer u I would eat that.
What you season with is always your choice. All the choices are healthy.Well done just put in some English mustard in your mash, maybe 1 teaspoon You will find what you like
Hi, it looks great ... only thing I do differently is get a pan, sweat down onions, carrots, garlic and celery, then add the mince to the pan ... keep it all moving until mince is brown, then add the wine to cook off, then add the flour (off the heat) then add stock bit by bit, then after it's reduced, add the tomato purée, and the Worcester sauce. Simmer until thickens (stir occasionally) ... just before putting mixture in baking dish, add the frozen peas. Then top with your lovely mashed potatoes. 👍
Only thing you do differently, is pretty much everything 😂
The onion first creates a sweetness due to them becoming caramelised.
Great way to do it. Personally I like to add the tomato puree before the liquid so that it browns off a little. Yours is a nice recipe. Worcestershire sauce adds so much flavour.
A sprinkling of grated cheddar on top just makes it even more scrumptious!!
Cheese and white pepper, yum.
Grated cheese and breadcrumbs on top makes it a Cumberland pie.
I always have extra gravy on the side for adding on top of my mash 😋
Essential !!!
Perfect meal on a cold winters day
all British scran is designed with that in mind :)
I love cottage pie with baked beans. And with the cold weather we are having, i too will be making cottage pie this week ❤
I'm a baked beans on the side too....yummy
Yes 👍
We are a nation of bean lovers 🇬🇧
Nothing better than a cottage / shepherds pie on a cold night! You have done a great job! Looks delicious
My mum used to put cheese into the mashed potatoes, used the tines of a fork to run along the mashed potatoes to give it loads of crispy ridges, also slices of tomato on top for each portion.
Coming in after playing out in the snow to a plateful of it was bliss.
You did a bangin job! 10/10. Thank you for knowing the difference between shepherds and cottage pie!
Thanks so much!
Looks lovely! Nothing like British comfort food on a cold night 😊

Nicely done. My wife adds mashed swede to the potatoes for extra flavour
The beauty of ‘home’ dishes, is there are no exact recipes, every one is an interpretation of what you like, what you have but the results are always, comfort, nostalgia and sharing!❤
Well done. I always put a sprinkling of cheese on top of both cottage and shepherds pie. Yum.
Perfect. Need some lovely veggies to go with them now!
cheese on top is a must and just in case it’s a bit dried out you can pour gravy over the top.
You just gave yourself a hug from the inside out! Looked great! 👍🏻
I love making cottage pie it's such a regular staple and a cheap meal to make.
👍Thumbs up from the UK, looks good. Personally I wouldn't add the spice but I'm sure it still works and tastes good👍

It looks lovely , love watching u cook ,can see u enjoy it ❤
Really enjoyed this video, especially the longer format. Look forward to more
Awesome, thank you!
Spicy 🌶️ cottage pie, interesting 🤔 I’ve never tried that before. I might have to give a try one day.
I have. I add chillies to pretty much all my savoury food lol
Its good
That looked great. I would have done exactly the same. Best wishes from London.
I love the way you say ‘cottage pie’ 🥰😆
Only thing to add is couple of small bits of butter to your mash to make it slightly more creamy. Good job.
I always add a tablespoon of marmite to mince when cooking adds umami taste and some crushed crisps on top of the mash and cheese for extra crispy top
Yeah someone else puts cheese on top 👍
Great job. When my Mum used to make it she would use the beef leftovers from our Sunday roast dinner.

From one who has issues holding Veg I would really like to know more about that potato peeler as I've never seen one before
Very nice pal, quick, simple and easy. Picked beetroot or cabbage. Perfection.

Defo eat it, looks good 👍
Looks great! I love cheese on mine! I agree Shepard’s pie has to be lamb cottage pie is beef!
Hi. From Dawlish devon.
Looks great. Some folk do use cheese.
But the normal. Is not.
Just potato, salt, pepper. 😊😊😊😊
Love my cottage pie with grated cheese on top 😊
Some greens on the side and maybe a good slash of gravy on top it would be perfect
Looks delicious ❤.. fair play😊
Thank you 😋
Pretty much on point mate . If you enjoyed it , you cooked it right , right . lol .
Absolutely

This yes as a chef I would advise this! Tbh I love adding a little worcestershire sauce to alot of things!!!

I agree mate. Good TV, Good Food, and occasionally good woman! 🤣🤣🤣. Food prices in the US appear insane? $6 for nutmeg????

Or an unknown dish my mother and wife make, Savoury Crumble!
@@ianarnett A mate of mine thought "Red sky at night, shepherd's delight" was shepherd's pie with Angel Delight on top instead of mashed potato.
You did a fabulous job…and yes! I’d be happy to eat your cottage pie
You seem to love our HP sauce . You really need to try HP fruity , it's lush
I don't put tomato puree in mine. I brown mince & onions, add veg, Oxo stock cubes, tsp mixed herbs, white pepper, glug Worcester sauce. When cooked I stir in a tin of baked beans & thicken with gravy granules.
Looks lush that. Will try paprika in my next 1
Add a spoonful of horseradish sauce to the meat when you cook it, and grated cheddar on top is a must. You’ll thank me next time.
I don’t use tomato or wine or nutmeg as the horse radish is overpowering to them. But it makes it soooo yummy
adding cheese to the potatoes for a cottage pie then makes it a cumberland pie
I thought a Cumberland pie was usually sliced potatoes, breadcrumbs and cheese on top?
@@Ness_HW never seen that before , but i suppose everyone has their wee tweaks for every dish , just like kalani using paprika and cayenne pepper
@@Ness_HW yeh, cumberland pie is sliced potatoes instead of mash
Looks banging! Well done 👏
