Pies
This was a classic collaboration for my mother and me. My love for exploring types of food we have never tried, combined with her gravitation toward Italian themed dishes, has given way this latest of our many creations: a delicious twist on Shepherd's Pie. <br /> <br />It started when she told me she needed to make dinner for that night using the sausages she was defrosting and an abundance of leftover garlic mashed red potatoes. My favorite use thus far for leftover potatoes has been (the one time I made it) Cottage Pie, so I explained the concept of the dish to her. She liked the idea of it, but wanted the flavors to be entirely different. As I was sauteing our vegetables and smelling the herbs and wine wafting from the pan, the name of the dish came to me and I knew we had to save this recipe. It is still a very rustic and simple dish, but with an entirely different, richer and more complex flavor than the Shepherd or Cottage could offer you. Feel free to omit or add whatever vegetables or fresh herbs you have on hand- That's how we decided what to put in it in the first place!
