HACHIS PARMENTIER - FRENCH PROVENCALE STYLE SHEPHERD'S PIE



Hachis Parmentier - French Provencale Style Shepherd's Pie image

Hachis Parmentier is the classic French version of a cottage-shepherd's pie, and is the perfect use for leftover stew (see recipe #353712). Here's my sunny French Provencal riff on the classic. I've topped the casserole with creamy seasoned mashed potatoes that are scraped with a fork for good browning, slices of fresh sun ripened tomatoes, olives, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a sprinkling of grated Gruyere cheese and it's baked until hot golden and bubbling. I hope you enjoy! Serve the Hachis Parmentier piping hot from the oven with a fresh green salad, a crusty baguette, and a nice bottle or glass of burgundy or rose wine. Salut! Recipe serves 6, but may be halved or increased to suit.

HACHIS PARMENTIER OR FRENCH STYLE SHEPHERD'S PIE



Hachis Parmentier or French Style Shepherd's Pie image

This is a European take on the traditional Shepherd's Pie recipe. I'm told it's named after Auguste Parmentier, the person who popularised potatoes in France in the 18th century. Serve this comforting dish with fresh peas or your favourite veggies.

750 g large new potatoes, washed and peeled
6 pieces streaky bacon, sliced into skinny strips

4 tablespoons chopped parsley

  • Add half the parsley and 50g of the breadcrumbs, stirred with the milk.

  • Leave to cook for about 15 minutes, adding the rest of the parsley near the end of the cooking.
  • Spoon the meat mixture into a casserole dish and top with the crushed potatoes.
  • Mix the Gruyere with the remaining breadcrumbs.
  • Sprinkle over the top and dot with butter, before cooking in a 350 F or 180 C oven for about 30 minutes or until golden and crusty on top.
