One of Marcus's favorite meals is Shepherds pie, and once I saw Gordon Ramsay make it, I was sold. This meal is great because you can pack SO many veggies in there and never tell the difference. Here's the recipe, let me know if you like it! I had to play around with the amounts of broth,wine, and Worcestershire sauce, to get the flavor that I like, so I suggest you do the same to get a taste you like!
1 tbspn grapeseed oil
1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
1 large organic onion minced
5 - 6 cloves of organic garlic minced
2 large carrots grated
1 large zucchini grated
1 cup of sweeter red wine
2 cups all natural beef broth
A few dashes of Worcestershire sauce
2 cans Organic tomato paste
Kosher salt
Ground black pepper
A pinch or two of crushed red pepper
1 tsp of organic cumin
About 2/3 cup of corn
About 2/3 cup of o green beans
About 2/3 cup peas
1 - 1.5 lbs potatoes (or about 4 large russets)
Heavy milk/cream
3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese
1 egg whisked
Heat oil in a large pan
Dice onion and garlic, add to oil
Add the ground meat to the pot and season with salt and pepper
While its browning grate the carrot and zucchini (using a cheese grater) and add to the pan
add the tomato paste to the pan and mix until fully incorporated
add the red wine, worcestershire sauce (to taste.. I used about 2 tbspns), and beef broth
Add red pepper flakes and cumin
Let the mix sit on medium low heat until the liquid boils down and it becomes reduced
Taste at this point and see if it's sweet enough for your taste, if not, add a teaspoon of sugar at a time until it reaches your preferred flavor.
Add the vegetables that youre using at this time
Meanwhile, peel and boil potatoes until soft enough to mash
Mash with cream, salt and pepper, parm cheese, and egg
Pour the meat mix into a glass pan
Top with the mashed potato mix
Top with more parm cheese
Baked at 400 for about 30 minutes
Let it sit for a few minutes to settle and enjoy!
