It's time to sort out a second recipe for our banquet.But how do you feel, mate,about us having a go at our own families birthday favourites?
现在要去找出我们的第二道菜了,但是我们先做一个自己家里的私房菜如何
My mum's shepherd's pie!And me mum's cottage pie.Game on, dude, game on!
我妈妈的牧羊人派,我妈妈的乡村派,开始吧
Even though we grew up on different sides of the country,our mum's pies are the same recipe.Apart from, well, the meat that they used.
虽然我们俩出生在英国的不同地方,但是妈妈的派的食谱相同,除了使用的肉不同
Oh, that's good beef.
牛肉不错
For my mum's shepherd's pie,it mix of two thirds lamb, to one third haggis.Just like she used to do on my birthday.
我妈妈的牧羊人派,混合三分之二的羊肉,三分之一的羊杂馅,跟我过生日时做的一样
And for my mum's cottage pie,it's quality beef. Simply brown the meat and add the veggies and stock.
我妈妈的乡村派使用上等牛肉,简单把肉煎到上色,加入蔬菜和高汤
She wouldn't have done this, but I also add a bit of red wine,just to butch up that beefy flavour.
她不会这样做,但是我会加点红酒,让牛肉的味道更加浓郁
Then add a couple of tablespoons of flour to thicken it all and let it simmer for at least half an hour.
然后加入几汤匙面粉,让他变浓稠一点,转小火煮至少半小时
Now, the little tricksy bit at the end.
最后是一点小技巧
Once you've got that pan of mince, season it,salt and pepper tasting all the time just so you make sure it balanced and then a couple of dashes of Worcestershire sauce.
用盐和胡椒调味的同时,要记得不停尝味道,这样才可以确保味道的平衡,然后加进一点英国辣酱油,
For the mash, it's worth using the right kind of spuds.
做马铃薯泥要选对马铃薯
Like me mam used to say, floury ones are the best.
我妈妈以前都会说,粉一点的比较好
That means, more tattie and less water.
也就是说淀粉含量高,水分少
Now, what we added to that is we added some butter, some salt and some pepper. And...
现在加一点黄油,盐,胡椒
And...some cheese. In our case to go with the Lincolnshire red, it was Lincolnshire poacher.
以及一些芝士,我们用的是林肯郡红奶酪,是当地特产
But for my birthday pie, me mam always used mature cheddar,just to give it a bit of welly.
至于我的生日派,我妈妈总是用成熟的切达干酪,让味道更鲜活
So, you have your component parts.
现在材料都准备好了
You've got your mince and you've got your cheesy mash.
馅料和芝士马铃薯泥
Now, look, if you want to put some more cheese on your cheesy mash,hey, listen - it's your celebration, you can do with it what you like.
如果你想多一点芝士,因为是你在庆祝,所以随便怎么加都行
