Ultimate Cottage Pie Recipe?
I think I have perfected mine, but would be interested to hear other peoples recipes.
I always make the mash with lots of butter, a pinch of nutmeg and cracked black pepper. Then mince, a tin of strained chopped toms, julienned carrots, shallots, leeks and lashings of Hendersons relish. I always have to have very mild cheddar on top too, though I know this is contoversial. Serve with green beans, peas and extra onion gravy. |

I've never heard of that relish either.
This may be a little idiosyncrasy of mine but I hardly ever have two green sides on a plate. I would either have just peas on the side or have peas in the pie and beans on the side ![]() For the cottage pie, I don't really measure so every meal (mince, cottage pie, bolognaise etc) comes out slightly different. |

Hendersons is a northern thing (small factory in Sheffield), but bigger supermarkets stock it.
I couldn't live without it, it's amazing. |

It can't be that northern if it stops at Yorkshire
![]() Is it a veggie Worcestershire substitute? |

The best one I ever made was with leftover roast beef, gravy and vegetables and fresh mash.

Mine is just mince, a bit of beef stock, a squeeze of tomato puree. simmer for an hour then mash on top and in the oven for 20 mins.
Keep the simmering water for the gravy. |
