Recipe Sifter

A few simple ingredients make this barley casserole delicious and flavorful. An ideal weekday dinner on a cold winter evening.

Very easy prep, the meat literally falls apart it's so tender. The horseradish sauce adds a bit of kick to tender beef short ribs.

I added dumplings to this and this one pot meal was delicious!

So to start off with the first post, I decided to make a meal that screams of comfort food. Whilst it does take a bit of a while to get the meal done, once you take that first bite, heaven couldn’t seem closer if you were Adam trying to touch God’s finger in the “Creation of Adam” fresco created by Michaelangelo. The meal I speak of is Cottage Pie. There is much debate as to what exactly a cottage pie is and how it is different to a Shepherd’s pie...I don’t know. The dominant theory is that Sheperds pie uses lamb mince, whilst a cottage pie uses beef mince. I don’t know about you, but the term “Sheperds Pie” does not get my tastebuds going quite as well, so I prefer the term cottage pie. Besides, comparing the price of ground (mince) beef to ground lamb, a student would pick up the beef mince in a heartbeat without even so much as glancing at the lamb in the meat section. This cottage pie that I made is full of flavour, and just makes you want to cuddle up next to a fire and watch TCM movies all day either by yourself, or with a significant other. Here is the recipe:

There are lots of flavor in both topping and filling, love shepherd's pie, then you should make this flavorful and delicious recipe!

Traditional recipe that it is hardly nowadays to see it in the italian kitchens because is very fat and so in the last 50yrs they opted for more lighter ingredients but I will give you the original version and post the modified one in another link.

The beef comes out tender and fall apart with lots of yummy sauce on top.
