St. Patty’s Lamb and Eggplant Shepherd’s Pie

I cooked this dish from Bon Appetit today for St. Patrick’s Day.   Our neighbor Mary also baked some Irish soda bread and brought us over a big chunk of it, yum!

After sauteing the eggplant.


The lamb then got a good dose of coarse salt and pepper then tossed with flour.  Then it was browned in olive oil.  Of course, Moxie got her share of fresh raw lamb and she loved it!

Here is everything simmering including onions, tomatoes, and lots of garlic.  The bottom of the pot was deglazed with a nice Veramonte Chardonnay.

Here is Mary’s soda bread with a 2005 Bordeaux (Chateau Poitevin Cru Bourgeois Medoc) that we had along with the Shepherd’s Pie.  A layer of mashed potatoes went over the top then got baked in the oven.
