Cottage Pie, the lower carb way

This Low-Carb Creamy Cottage Pie tastes so good you will never guess the recipe is low-carb! This recipe makes a warm, comforting meal that’s perfect for cooler days. It’s easy enough for a weekday dinner, but inviting enough to serve to company. Everyone will think that the topping is mashed potatoes, but it’s not. Instead, it’s made from mashed celeriac. Celeriac, or celery root stands in as a dead ringer for the mashed potatoes in traditional cottage pie. Celeriac is a weird looking vegetable, perhaps the unsung hero of the vegetable world! It's knobbly, odd-shaped and has a subtle, celery-like flavour … it's also low carb and a favourite in our house.

This Low-Carb Creamy Cottage Pie is a recipe that the whole family will love, whether low-carb, or not. It can be assembled ahead and kept in the refrigerator overnight, covered. When you’re ready for a quick meal, just bring to room temperature, then bake as directed. Enjoy!

3. Add onion and carrots to the skillet (frying pan). Cook, stirring occasionally carrot is tender and onion is beginning to brown on the edges and appears translucent.

Chives ... The smallest and most delicate member of the onion family, chives are a popular herb used in European cookery. They have long, thin green blades that are hollow inside. They have a mild, grassy flavour similar to baby spring onions or young leeks. There is also an Asian variety of chive called Chinese chives, garlic chives or Kuchai.
