Comments: The Irish Rovers, of "Puff the Magic Dragon" and "The Unicorn" fame, own a very successful "Old Country Pub" in Calgary, Alberta. Their Shepherd's Pie is justly famous. Vincent Lee, kitchen manager at the Unicorn says the recipe came directly from Ireland via the Irish Rovers more than 10 years ago.

1 to taste salt and pepper
Directions:
Cook ground beef in frying pan until brown. Add onion, carrots, celery, garlic, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Lower heat and cook for 10 minutes or until vegetables are wilted. Add beef broth, bring to a boil. Stir in enough of the butter/flour roux to make a thick gravy to bind the filling. Pour into large shallow baking pan and cool. The filling should be about 1-1/2 inches deep.

1 Dash pepper, black
Directions:
Cook the potatoes and parsnips in water until tender. While these are cooking, chop leeks (light green as well as white) and simmer in the milk until soft. Next, cook the kale and have warm and well chopped (rough chop and blend in short pulses in a food processor). Drain the potatoes, season with garlic, salt and pepper, and beat well. Add the cooked leeks and milk (be careful not to break down the leeks too much). Finally, blend in the kale and butter. The texture should be that of a smooth-buttery potato with well-distributed pieces of leek and kale. Garnish with parsley.
