Italian Comfort Food, Indeed–YUM!
0 Comment
This Italian dish may not be as well known in the United States as, say, spaghetti with meat sauce or lasagna, but it is at least as comforting and filling! It is not your usual lamb- or mutton-based version of such a dish, but the Italian Shepherd’s Pie is still very hearty and incorporates a multitude of savory ingredients into one recipe.
I had generally shied away from shepherd’s pie in the past, because most traditional versions of it are made with lamb or mutton, and I inherited a bit of a shyness about trying those meats from both my parents. When I came across this version, though, I was eager to give it a try. The combination of ingredients spices up the dish a bit and offers a different choice of meat while still remaining true to the simplicity and comfort-food spirit of the original.
