Step by step recipe:
 | |
Wash and chop 1 bunch parsley. |  |
Grate cheese. |  |
Cut 500 g cooked meat (here it's leftover chicken) into small pieces. |  |
Put 2 tablespoons oil in a pan on medium heat, then add the chopped shallot and cook for a minute or two. |  |
Add the meat, salt and pepper then cook for approximately 5 minutes while stirring well. |  |
Remove the pan from heat, then add 2 eggs. |  |
... while stirring vigorously. |  |
Add parsley. |  |
Mix again |  |
Butter a large dish. |  |
In the bottom put a layer of mashed potato (approximately 1 cm or ½ inch thick). |  |
Add all the meat in another layer. |  |
Cover with a second layer of mashed potato. |  |
And finally add a fine layer of grated cheese. |  |
Put in the oven for 20/30 minutes until the top is nicely browned. |  |
Remarks:
For a more sophisticated recipe, you can:- Make more than 4 layers of mashed potato-meat-mashed potato-cheese, for example mashed potato-meat-mashed potato-cheese-meat-mashed potato-cheese. You should, of course, finish with a layer of mashed potato sprinkled with cheese.
- Add some cream to the mashed potatoes
- Add some chopped ham or bacon to the meat
[Translator's note: this is the French answer to the English cottage or shepherd's pie].

Hi JHI just printed out one of your recipes, the first time I have done this in about 2 months, and the page is way too big for my printer - so I have lost about 2cm of text on the left and half the photo on the right. Hopeless! Have you changed your settings on the web site? I already have "shrink to fit page width' on my own settings, so any thoughts or advice? I like to be able to print out your recipes...Many thanks. Lori

Hi Lori : Yes, I have made a version more "actual fashion" of the site, using CSS. I'm sheepish to have not verify printing results, and I promise to see that as soon as possible.
On the same kind of problems, I'm actually working on an e-cookbook made from site recipes, it will be in pdf and, I hope, resolve all printing problems. Coming soon...
