hello and welcome back to my channel today I'm going to show you how to make a really easy shepherd's pie that's got sweet potato the topping it's a RP friendly it's paleo friendly it's gluten free it's just it's been one of my favorite dinners to enjoy while I've been on AIP I've had it once sometimes even twice a week especially in the beginning while I've been getting my head around the diet it's such an easy dish to make so I'll chat with you ingredients really quickly and then get on to the recipe and as always I've written a full blog post which I'll leave down below which I'll have the full recipe that you can click through a pin bookmark and save whenever you want to make the recipe and also make sure leave a like subscribe for more videos and comment to let me know if you give this recipe a try so first off for the star of the show we've got lamb mince so the difference between a shepherd's pie and a college pie is shepherd's pie is when you cook it with lamb which I'm doing and a cottage pie is of beef mince now you can absolutely definitely make this with just lamb or just beef or you can mix the two together it's totally up to you but I quite like making it traditionally here with lamb mince and to cook along with the lamb we've got some leek onion garlic and carrot for their Jesus to give lots of flavor and lots of lovely nutrients and for the topping I am going to use sweet potato I've got a package of sweet potato and onion over there I've got a package a sweet potato to make sweet potato topping and there's a couple more ingredients adding along the way to that I'll talk you through as we go we're gonna start out by melting some coconut oil and a frying pan chopped up onion garlic leek and get that softening so I've got a plate full of chopped onion coholic leek my eyes are watering I I'm gonna fry these up and if you're going to be cooking this straightaway pop the oven on to 180 degree Celsius which is 350 Fahrenheit to get it heating I am going to be making this whole shepherd's pie today to have tomorrow for dinner so I'm getting organized just so it's gonna all be prepped all be ready as you'll see at the end of the video and then tomorrow I just pop it in the oven to cook so I'm gonna get on and soften all these veg now okay we'll have veg in the frying pan head melted coconut oil it's nice and hot well I had a bit more coconut oil and we'll just cook it until it's just starting to soften before we add in the meat so I've added in a bit more coconut oil I've also added a couple of shakes of salt I like to add a bit of salt at every layer so just add some more flavor so this is starting to soften and we'll add the meats in a minute great color and softening happening on the vegetables added a bit more coconut oil I know Anthony's in take over some salt and then mix it all through so I'm just gonna keep cooking it and testing the ligaments until it's all completely browned and then we'll just add in chopped carrots and some stock to make a lovely meaty sauce while the leaves Browns I've chopped up the carrots I've chopped some in two rounds and some into little quarters little pieces just so it's kind of a mixed up mix of textures and types of carrot to him the shepherd's pie but yeah the meats almost round so it meets almost brown I'm just gonna get it cooking another minute or so get all those bits brown and then we'll add in the carrots okay carrots are in and give it a little toss three and now I've been making chicken stock I always keep chicken stock chicken broth in my fridge so I'm gonna add a couple of cups of that to clip it bubble away and get that meat nice and tender cook the veggies through and then we'll see to our sweet potato mash you know I've added in my two cups of stock it's all gone quiet in the kitchen it might look very liquidy but really give a time I let this bubble now for a good 25 minutes half an hour and see to the sweet potato in the meantime and by that time most of this liquid will have evaporated it being absorbed into everything and it just ends up with a beautiful really moist meaty sauce that's perfect in this shepherd's pie so we can let this cook bubble away and see to our sweet potato mash now so for the sweet potato we've just peeled and chopped all of the sweet potato going in plenty of salted water gonna bring it up to the bubble and let it bubble away until we've got the lovely mash sorry they'll take probably as long as it'll take the meat to bubble away here for the sweet potato to cook so yep we're just gonna bring it all together the sweet potato is soft and definitely easy enough to mash so we'll drain it and get it mushing and how lovely meatiness is almost ready just a little bit more of that liquid to absorb and it'll probably absorb once into the mash okay it's a lot of terrain to sweet potato how about using potato masher to mash the sweet potato until you got a nice smooth mash and now it's up to you you can add into it a bit of coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil to make it creamy you could also add in some coconut milk those are all a RP friendly if you're not on a dairy-free diet you can add in some butter cream milk or whatever you like I went for actually extra virgin olive oil I thought it'd be a little different that in the past I've added over a few tablespoons of coconut milk I found just a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil made it nice and creamy and smooth and just perfect and yet also added salt too but you could add any seasoning you like sorry it's a bit steamy I am going to set this aside just check on the meat and as soon as everything's evaporated pop it all together okay my filling is sorted it looks so nice and so beautiful and so now I'm just gonna move it into my baking dish just like that and it looks so good smells amazing I'm gonna have to wait tomorrow to have this for dinner but it really it's worth it now and I'm home and I've got other bits to do to be able to make this in the background and then dinners made for tomorrow and I don't have to think about it so but all of the lovely filling here I've got the sweet potato topping over there and now just pop it all on top so the sweet potato is all on top and now I'll just really smooth it up until the whole sweet potato shepherd's pie is completely covered in topping just like that we've got the lovely smooth topping now when you're looking and see the layers they're lovely meaty layer down the bottom and the sweet potato on the top and now the can go into the oven straight into the oven which has said preheated to 180 degrees Celsius which is 350 Fahrenheit you can pop it in for 25 minutes half an hour everything is cooked we just wanted to get that lovely flavor for being in the oven and maybe even crisp the top if cheese and everything is good with you you can sprinkle a bit of cheese on top get a nice crispy cheese topping that's not ARP friendly but it really depends on your easy requirements so buying a that I am going to let it cool completely it's still very hot and they let it cool completely and then store it in the fridge and then tomorrow I'll just pop my oven on and I will cook it up then which I will show you next okay it's the next day now my shepherd's pie has been in the fridge I'm about to pop the oven on to preheated to 180 degrees Celsius which is 350 Fahrenheit and I'm just gonna pop it in to cook for 25 minutes half an hour just until the bottom is all bubbly and the top is maybe a bit crisp than yet I took a fork and just to kind of drew lines across couldn't resist to make a little pretty pattern so yeah this is gonna go into the oven I'll show you once it's done okay it's out the oven it smells pretty amazing it's a bit golden on top the under layer there is all bubbly and hot and it is just perfect so I'm gonna serve myself out a portion and make it go you can see all the beautiful layers with all the meat and veg and it's nice and moist with the sauce there and my lovely portion here which will be just such a young dinner it's enough to feed the family I'd have leftovers it's just a wonderful meal and as you saw I prepared it all yesterday today it was just a matter of popping it in the oven cooking it and now I've got really a no fuss dinner that I can enjoy and as I mentioned before I have the full blog post written down below which will have the full recipe and some ideas for extra ingredients you can include if you're not on the ARP diet like me and you want to take it further with more ingredients
