shepherds pie
As said, the main ingredients are spuds, onions, and butter.What's butter pie?
I would call that a potato and onion pie rather than a butter pie. You Lancastrians and your funny ways.As said, the main ingredients are spuds, onions, and butter.
This is how I make it (it is one of the most comforting of all comfort dishes I know, so well worth a go)
Line a pie dish with shortcrust pastry, cut spuds into slices about the thickness of a quid bit, and parboil for 5 mins.
VERRRY SLOWLY sweat the onions (cut in half moons) in butter - don't caramelise, you want them fat and buttery and soft.
Drain spuds, put one layer in pie dish, then pour over all the buttery onions, then put another layer of spuds on top.
Dot all over with good proper salted butter (50g), then a good grind of black pepper, and put pastry lid on.
Do at Gas 5 for about 30 mins - just check to see if ready.
I've just had a leftover slice for me lunch - fuck me it's soooooo good
It's a butter fucking pie you oaf (although in Greenhalgh's they omit the 'fucking')I would call that a potato and onion pie rather than a butter pie. You Lancastrians and your funny ways.
Oh shut upIf it was butter pie the filling would be nothing but butter.
It seriously is. I hadn't made it for ages but as he requested it, I did it, and then immediately decided to make it a lot more often!it sounds bloody gorgeous either way!
Yes but if you make your own they are much nicerFor once I agree with OU. Butter pies are a disappointment and a possible breach of the trade descriptions act - a decent croissant almost certainly contains more butter. They're blinking ordinary potato pies at best
I doff my hat to the many fine pies made in the area - hell, even Greenhalgh's would be a massive step up compared to most of the bakeries around here - but I don't get the butter pie love. A bit dull really; the beige of the pie choices available.
Can't say it's all luxury here tonight either mind. It's a £10 meal deal with obligatory bottle of vino. Was going to use the time saved to prepare the bottles for the first batch of pepper sauce of the season, but have been spectacularly lazy since getting back from work.
think we'll have this too I feel the need for a big does of vitamins!another veg stir fry I think.
