Shepherds pie with my incredibly dark IPA
|
|
I had a tasty meal last night, Shepherd's pie made with lamb shoulder marinated overnight in my smoked maple porter and then sauteed with potatoes, vidalia onions, mushrooms and leeks. I boiled the bones to make stock which I reduced down and mixed with condensed cream of mushroom soup. I simply baked the sweet potato fries with a bit of salt and olive oil.
Oh so yummy.

I hate you. 
It sounds great! But all the shepherd's pie I have ever had has had a baked mashed potato topping. Am I missing something in the canon of great Shepherd pies?

Looks great.
I don;t think I have ever had a shepherd pie that wasn't topped with potatoe mash.
Once, in a pub, I had a pot. crusted pie that also had a reduced brandy drizzle over top. HEAVEN!

Don't listen to them man, you don't have to brew your pies to style.

That's why there's category 23 Specialty Pies
Quote:
This is explicitly a catch-all category for any pie that does not fit into an existing style category. No pie is ever “out of style” in this category, unless it fits elsewhere.
The category is intended for any type of beer, including the following techniques or ingredients:
* Unusual techniques (e.g., steinpie (cooked in a BBQ), ice/frozen pot pies)
* Unusual meats (e.g., Crawdad,rattlesnake, racoon, alligator)
* Unusual adjuncts (e.g., oats, rye, buckwheat, potatoes)
* Combinations of other style categories (e.g., India Curry Pie, fruit-and-spice pies, smoked spiced pies)
* Out-of-style variations of existing styles (e.g., low cal versions of other styles, extra-meat, “Hungry Man” strength pies...)

Sounds very nice. Maybe I'll try my Old Bog Water in the marinade, it's got some peat smoked malt in it.
