FOOD: COTTAGE MAKEOVER

Sep 2 2007 Michael Kilkie

To turn today's shepherd's pie into a cottage pie, follow the same instructions and techniques in the recipe above but use oxtail instead of lamb shanks. Treat the meat the same way by browning and braising but use beef stock instead. Add a splash of Worcestershire and HP brown sauce when reducing the gravy for an extra kick. Also, instead of using goats' cheese on the mash try a lovely mature cheddar. Delicious.
