Radical farmer’s pie

Farmer’s Pie, sometimes called Shepherd’s Pie, is a traditional continental dish. There are so many ways to cook it. Oftentimes topped with mashed potatoes, I have come across a version using mashed sweet potatoes (kamote) instead. Really interesting but I still have to try that one.

I have been cooking Farmer’s Pie for years. We have an old video movie of my then three-year-old daughter, now 11, feasting on it on New Year’s Eve. That was the tomato sauce-based Farmer’s Pie. I’ll reserve that for another time.

The Farmer’s Pie recipe you will find below is much, much simpler to make. But just as delicious.

And, yes, it is my own version. Hence, the name I gave it.
