Nice post
How much milk? Can’t find an amount.
This is not how the shepherds pie was made when I went the first week of August. It wasn’t ground lamb in what I had. I not sure if it was beef or lamb, but it wasn’t ground. There were chunks of delicious meat! I wish I was there now to have it!
As with all restaurants, menu offerings do tend to change, including recipes. At the time, this was the way that Raglan Road was making their Shepard’s Pie. I’m glad to hear that the recipe has changed into chunks of meat, instead of ground!
I don’t think its lamb. I did lamb tonight and the taste/smell were very strong – stronger than I remember when I’ve had it there. The lamb wasn’t bad or anything – perfectly fine and within date, but still, very gamey. We were thinking meatball mix of ground meat next time
you are missing a few key ingredients with this pie. I worked for Kevin Dundon and Raglan Road. You are missing rosemary, thyme, and tomato paste.
