Shepherds pie - sides?

[Maloneyb]

What sides would you serve with a shepherds pie?
the mince itself I tend to put carrot, onion, peas and sometimes mushrooms in.

best sides?

I always have cabbage. Don't know why. No other veg seems quite right. I also have carrots and peas in the mince and if I can be bothered, fried leeks in the mash😋. And extra gravy on the side!

Baked beans

Leafy greens like long stemmed broccoli or kale

@Peridot1

yes, I eat lot of cauli & celeriac! Mashed roasted etc etc

I also don't eat meat, so my Shepard's pie is now a veg producers 'pie' 🤣🤣

Cauliflower, broccoli and carrots, occasionally cabbage or sprouts. But the only veg I put in my base is onions

I put carrots and onions in the pie then two green veg on the side.

Only veg. It's a complete meal.

Crusty bread and red cabbage 😋

Now I want shepherd pie for tea 😂

Broccoli, peas and broad beans.

Euhhh. “Spring greens”. I wasn’t even aware these were a thing. We used to have “greens” for our old-school 70s school dinners. I hated them. Have never met them since! I thought they were some bizarre mash-up random vegetable concoction. Feeling sick thinking of them now! I hated school dinners. And they made you eat it all up. 🤢

I know this is controversial but we have it with beans and gravy. And buttered bread to mop up the sauce

Only one choice. Cauliflower cheese. My fave comfort food with shepherds pie

Gravy and mint sauce OR HP sauce, possibly green veg such as peas, broccoli or green beans.

Brocoli in this house but I remember going to a friends years ago and got shepards pie and chips. In Ireland. It was weird.

We put leeks in the mash

Cabbage and mint sauvce plus extra gravy

That sounds amazing. I usually go for broccoli, but I adore cauliflower cheese and adore shepherd's pie, so together that will be a dream.

Chips? Sliced baguette? Garlic bread? Roast potatoes?

All four?

I don't put veg in mine so we have veg on the side. My mum used to do veg and roasties! There's something lush about a total carb overload.

Peas, obviously. Unless you're one of those who puts peas in the mince...

I do broccoli and sweetcorn on the side, then carrots, peas and onions in the actual pie.

Pickled beetroot!

Vegetables or baked beans.. Always extra thick gravy poured on top.

I had it dished up to me at a friend's house with Branston pickle on the side once, it was surprisingly nice.

I insist on HP Sauce with mine. It's awesome

Thank you all! Didn’t expect to get soo many responses!

I’ve decided to do yorkies, red cabbage, green beans, asparagus and we’re trying the branston pickle for sure!!
