Ukie Shepherds Pie


So, I bought a jar of Sauerkraut and everytime I use it, I need to put some sausages in there somewhere. So, I created a dish using a Ukrainian favorite.

In a large pot, on the stove, heat up olive oil and then add:
- 5-6 sausages, out of their casings and in pieces (similar to ground beef)- fry for 5-6 minutes
- Season with: salt, pepper, cayenne, dry basil, fennel seed
- Add half a jar of rinsed Sauerkraut and combine, fry for another 5 minutes
- Add 1 thinly sliced apple to the mix.
- Add 1 minced clove of garlic.
* Put this mix in a lasagna/casserole dish as the bottom layer

For the mashed potatoes:

- Simmer 5-6 peeled and diced potatoes in beef broth and a bay leaf for 25-20 minutes or until tender...then MASH 'EM and:
- Add a finely minced shallot
- Add about 1/2 cup fresh, chopped dill
- Add 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Add milk (for creaminess)
* Put potatoes evenly over the first base
*Sprinkle with paprika, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle a thin layer of Panko breadcrumbs...
* Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes and broil for the last two minutes until the topping gets golden!


Mooliciouski!
