Pub & Kitchen chef Jonathan McDonald (read Trey Popp’s Nov. 13 review here) is featured in the January 2009 issue of Men’s Journal. Jonnymac shares his recipe for shepherd’s pie, the UK classic. They do plan on working the dish onto P&K’s menu at some point in the near future.
His shepherd’s pie is fairly traditional but has a few modern twists. Specifically he suggests using mutton, the meat from older lamb, instead of young spring lamb, as well as adding turnips and parsnips (or any root vegetable) to the mix. And he insists that cooking shepherd’s pie should be as unhurried and soothing as eating it: “I like to make it on a Saturday afternoon at home with a few pints going.”
