Pulled Pork Shepherd’s Pie Hearty Comfort Food Delight

Ingredients

• 2 cups pulled pork (cooked and cooled)
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup carrots, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 0 to taste salt and pepper
• 4 cups mashed potatoes (butter and cream added)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0 to garnish fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large skillet, over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil. Sauté onions and garlic until fragrant and onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in diced carrots and cook for another 5 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the pulled pork to the skillet and stir well to combine.
4. Pour in chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Sprinkle in smoked paprika and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cooking for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
5. Stir in the frozen peas and mix well. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly.
6. Top the pork-vegetable mixture with the mashed potatoes, smoothing it out with a spatula or fork. Fluff the top for additional texture.
7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mashed potatoes.
8. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the top is golden brown.
9. Once it’s done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
