1. Lamb Shepherd’s Pie with Mushrooms, Stout & Potatoes
The Irish sure love their shepherd’s pie! Treat the family to lamb this holiday, served soft and warm with thick broth inside of fluff pie crust. This pie holds true to the Irish tradition, with a cup of Guinness, giving the potatoes and vegetable blend extra flavor. Stuffed with 8 ounces of mushrooms, it’s quite filling.
The Mushroom Council and American Lamb Board worked together to create this recipe.
Ingredients
2 pounds American lamb stew meat, or shoulder or leg cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
6 tbsp unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
3 stalks celery, sliced 1/4-inch thick

1 cup Irish stout, such as Guinness
