SHEPHERD’S PIE

Shepherd’s Pie is the perfect way to use leftover roasted meat of any kind and leftover potatoes of any kind.  A St. Stephen’s Day pie is made using leftover turkey or ham.  A Cumberland pie is a version using breadcrumbs on top instead of potatoes.  The English also make a similar dish with fish known as fish pie.

SHRIMP PERNOD WITH SPINACH CAKES

Pernod is an anise-flavoured, or black licorice flavoured liqueur.  This beverage becomes cloudy when diluting over ice because it is  aniseed-based. It contains oils called  terpeness, which are soluble in an aqueous solution that contains 30% ethanol or more by volume. When the solution is diluted to below 30% ethanol, the terpenes become insoluble causing the beverage to become cloudy.

Instructions
For the Shrimp Pernod
  1. Combine ½ teaspoon salt, cayenne and garlic powder and rub the shrimp with it. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute the shrimp for 3 minutes. Add the onions, celery and garlic and sauté for 2 or 3 more minutes. Add the pernod and cook for 1 minute. Add the parsley and cream and bring to a boil. Season to taste.
For the Spinach Cake
  1. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ¼ cup of flour. Stir constantly for 5 to 6 minutes to make a blond roux the color of sandpaper. Add the onions and cook, stirring for about 2 minutes until slightly wilted. Add the milk and stir until the mixture thickens. Add the spinach, salt, cayenne, pepper, nutmeg and garlic and cook stirring for about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Add bread crumbs, parmigiano reggiano, and Pernod and mix well. Let cool for about 30 minutes.
  2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties. Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Combine the remaining ¼ cup flour and the rub. Dredge the patties, coating evenly in the flour. Fry the cakes for about 2 minutes on each side until golden. Transfer to a warm platter. Spoon shrimp and sauce over the cakes and serve.

Instructions
  1. In a sauté pan, cook ground beef, onion, and seasoning until beef is cooked through, about 8 minutes, mashing it with a fork as it cooks, so the beef is a fine crumble.
  2. Divide the remaining ingredients into quarters and pile each one on top of a soft flour tortilla along with the beef mixture. Fold edge of tortilla, brush the outside with vegetable oil and cook in a skillet on both sides until cheese melts, 2 - 3 minutes.

Instructions
  1. In a 4-quart stockpot on medium heat, sauté the onions, celery and garlic with the grapeseed oil, salt, and pepper until the onions are translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the carrots, potatoes, split peas, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for 40 minutes – 50 minutes, stirring often to keep the bottom of the pan from burning. Skim off the foam while cooking. Add the fresh oregano and blend with an emulsion blender to a creamy consistency. Taste for salt and pepper. Serve hot garnished with shaved parmigiano reggiano and a few splashes of Frank’s hot sauce.


Recipe Notes

The peas tend to settle to the bottom of the pan and burn so you have to watch it closely and stir often.

Instructions
  1. For the crust: combine 2 cups flour, 1 stick cold butter, cubed, 1 tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Pulse until crumbly. Add ice cold water 1 tablespoon at a time and pulse until the dough comes together in a ball. (about 5 or 6 tablespoons) Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

  2. For the filling: Mix together the goat cheese, heavy cream, egg, brown sugar, flour, salt and basil in a bowl. Add the blueberries and combine; the texture will be like a thick cake batter.

  3. For the topping: Mix together the walnuts, brown sugar and melted butter and set aside.

  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 18 inch thickness and place into a 10 inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. (this is known as "docking". It keeps the crust from puffing up unevenly and helps it to cook evenly) Par-bake the crust for 15 minutes or until firm. Let cool slightly. Pour the filing into the crust and sprinkle the topping over the top. Bake for 40 minutes until slightly bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Rotating the pie halfway through helps it brown evenly. Let the pie cool for 30 minutes on a wire rack before serving.
