Sheperds Pie

bila saya depresi, saya suka escape. escape from reality. dan salah satu caranya saya.... memasak!! hee

Sheperds Pie
( jangan tanya saya kenapa ini namanya, ada la history dia left behind kot.)

the filling
isi ayam yang dicincang
carrot - potong dadu
bell pepper - potong dadu jugak
tomato puree - nak ganti dengan prego pon bole
margarine - better than butter kerana ia lemak tak tepu
mr. bawangs - bawang merah & putih yg di hiris atau tumbuk atau blend pon bole


the topping
potatoes - boiled & mashed
cheddar - shredded
margerine (again)
fresh milk
pepper

ok, now lets get moving babeh. ahaks!
easy easy..mula-mula, masak the filling dulu. macam mana nak masak? ok macam ni, panaskan pan, masukkan margerine then bila dah melted dan cukup panas, tumis those mr. bawangs. agak-agak aroma dia dah menyirap ke hidungs, then masuk ayam..kasik half cook then masuk carrots and bell pepper. last but not least the tomato puree. kacau2 kejap then tutup api and just leave it for a while.
now lets do the topping. masukkan margerine ke dlm mashed potatoes and mix well. then, masuk sebahagian cheddar dan pepper dan kacau lagi. pastu masuk milk (jangan banyak sgt ye, half cup pun ok) kacau rata.
finally, masukkan the filling tadi ke dalam bekas ape-ape yg boleh di gunakan untuk membakar. patu letaklah topping mashed potatoes tu. garnish kan dengan shredded cheddar on top of the potatoes. before bakar, letak margarine sikit kat atas sebab takut cheddar jadi hangus and kering. masukkan ke dalam oven pada suhu 200c for 40 minutes atau sampai cheddar tadi cair dan jadi brownish2.

oh lagi satu, kalau anda kreatif. boleh la buat filling guna seafood ke, guna sauce lain ke like cream of mushroom ke etc...janji sedap!

oh sungguh sedap dan senang!! ala2 lasagne pulak sebab saya guna prego. haha. ada italian style gitu! selamat mencubaaa..

I call it "Lamb burger immersed in cheesy egg". heh

Ok, first of all, coming from me.... pergh~ this is a great shock to myself, considering that I have no knowledge of how to cook (except for the basics. heh). I'm putting this under the labels "bread" and "side dish". On to the ingredients

Ingredients

1. A lamb burger. I'm recommending "Darabif". Oh, trust me, it's delicious. Being a big eater, I've tried many brands before, nothing can match "Darabif". The picture: tadaaa~

2. eggs
3. Cheese. I'd recommend using Kraft's singles
4. Salad
5. Sauces: mayo, thousand island, chili etc
6. Bread



Methods

1. First, put the burger on a non-stick frying pan. No oil is needed, all the natural oil will come out on its own =p With a lamb burger, you might find that it takes longer than usual to cook. Allow 20-30 minutes.

2. After around 15-20 minutes, cut the cheese into small cubes, and crack open the egg. Mix them both together, and on another frying pan (with a lil oil), make your cheesy egg.

3. Take two pieces of bread, apply all the above mentioned sauces, salad, and put the burger and egg. Eat while its hot. Trust me, the cheese will melt in your mouth. Yummy. Had it for sahur =p




So there you go. A recipe from a guy. What else can a guy cook? =p
