Shepherd's pie is a firm favourite on the UK menu and is super delicious and comforting. I'm going to make a version of this dish today.

Here's an outline of the ingredients I used:
For the meat layer:
600g mutton or lamb chops
1 large onion
1 clove of garlic
half a cup of plain flour
butter or oil for frying
about a teaspoonful each of fresh or dried thyme, and ground cumin
Stock/bouillon cube
2 or 3 anchovy fillets
handful of dried mushrooms (porcini and others), rehydrated in 1 cup of water
about two handfuls of fresh mushrooms
2 pickled walnuts (or substitute a splash of brown sauce, worcestershire sauce, Branston Pickle, etc)

For the stock pot:
Bones from the mutton chops
Trimmings from all the vegetables (except the potato peels - those tend to just make stock cloudy and less tasty)
Bay leaves, rosemary, sage, thyme
1 clove of garlic, smashed
1 stick of celery, crushed
pinch of salt
1 litre of water

For the potato layer:
1kg potatoes
4 or 5 spring onions/scallions
75g salted butter
half a cup of milk
half a teaspoon of white pepper
1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing

For the extra gravy
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 or 2 cups of stock from the stockpot
any pan deglaze from frying the meat
1 teaspoon mint sauce (which is just mint leaves finely chopped in vinegar and sugar
