Cottage Pie

Really felt the need of some comfort food last night, and so Cottage Pie filled the bill.

Served it with sauteed mushrooms, steamed corn with red capsicum, steamed beans and broccolini.

There are many recipes for Cottage Pie, this one is just the same as everyone else's, only I added a large broccoli stalk, very finely chopped, in with the minced beef and onion at the browning stage, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce.

Sauteed Mushrooms
5 medium button mushrooms, cut into narrow wedges
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon plain flour, approx
1 tablespoon stock
1 teaspoon olive oil

Slightly heat olive oil, add garlic and wedges of mushrooms, fry over medium heat until almost done, keeping mushrooms from browning too much, add the Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle just enough flour over to take up juices, stir until flour has taken up juices and cooked a little, add stock and stir. The mushrooms will be nice and tender with just a little sauce clinging to the wedges.
