Celery Root Shepherd’s Pie
Shepherd’s Pie is just like Cottage Pie except that’s made with lamb. Feel free to add different vegetables or even top it with a little grated cheese for garnish. You can make it with ground beef, veal, pork, or even chicken if you like.
We’ve added the subtle but pleasing combination of celery root and herbs to the potato mixture.
