Recipe Corner Everyone has “corned beef and cabbage” on the brain come St. Patrick’s Day. But another flavorful dish might appeal to a greater number of people with Irish roots. Shepherd’s Pie is a savory dish made of minced lamb that originated in England but also made the jump to Ireland, where it became a popular comfort food. While Shepherd’s Pie can be made with freshly cooked ground meat, it also is a fine way to use leftovers from a previous meal. Shepherd’s Pie is commonly mistaken for Cottage Pie, which is very similar, yet tends to use beef as the meat of choice. Many families have their own ancestral recipes for Shepherd’s Pie, but for those looking to cook the dish for the first time, try “Shepherd’s Pie,” courtesy of Alton Brown, which appeared in Season 12 of his hit show “Good Eats.” Shepherd’s Pie Yield: 8 servings 1 1/2 2 1 2 2 1 1/2 1 3/4 3/4 2

pounds russet potatoes tablespoons canola oil cup chopped onion carrots, peeled and finely diced cloves garlic, minced pounds ground lamb teaspoons kosher salt teaspoon freshly ground black pepper teaspoons tomato paste

2 1 1 1/4 4 1 1/2 1/2

teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary teaspoon chopped fresh thyme teaspoon Worcestershire sauce cup half-and-half tablespoons unsalted butter large egg yolk cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen cup English peas, fresh or frozen

1. Heat oven to 400 F. 2. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch dice. Put them in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Set said pan over high heat, cover and bring to a boil. Uncover, drop the heat to maintain a simmer, and cook until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. 3. Heat the oil in an 11-inch saute pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion and carrots and saute just until they begin to take on color, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to combine. Add the meat, salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 3 minutes. 4. Sprinkle the meat with the flour, toss to coat, and continue to cook for another minute. Add the tomato paste, broth, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, and thyme and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then decrease the heat to low, cover, and simmer slowly until the sauce is thickened slightly, 10 to 12 minutes. 5. Meanwhile, combine the half-and-half and butter in a microwave-safe container and nuke until warmed through, about 35 seconds. 6. Drain the potatoes and return them to the saucepan. Mash the potatoes (a masher is an excellent tool for this, though a hand mixer will do), then add the hot half-and-half mixture, as well as the salt and pepper. Mash to smoothness, then stir in the egg yolk. 7. Add the corn and peas to the meat mixture and spread evenly in a 7-by-11-inch glass baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes, starting around the edges to create a seal to prevent the mixture from bubbling over, and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Place on a half sheet pan lined with parchment paper on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or just until the potatoes begin to brown. Remove to a cooking rack and let rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Resident DISCOUNT PROGRAM

Resident Discount Card Program

We are excited to provide an informational update to the current Chateau Elan Resident Discount program, including information on how to register for a resident discount card, where to pick them up, and an outline of the resident discount perks. Residents of Chateau Elan Estates are eligible for a ‘Resident Discount Card,’ available for pick-up at the Chateau Elan Golf Clubhouse through December 31st, 2022. Once registered, the ‘Resident Discount Card’ allows residents to receive various discounts on offerings around Chateau Elan Winery and Resort. Residents who choose not to register for a ‘Resident Discount Card’ are not eligible to receive any discounts and must pay the regular fee for all programs and services throughout the resort. The ‘Resident Discount Card’ is completely optional and is not required for residents.

Restrictions

Chateau Elan residents must live within a qualified Chateau Elan neighborhood. Neighborhoods that are currently within the physical boundaries of Chateau Elan Winery and Resort are: the Legends, the Executive Estates, the Woodlands, the Village, Creekside Village, Oxley Village, the Country Estates, and the Manor Homes. Chateau Elan Winery and Resort will continue to assess this list on an ongoing basis. Even though licenses may reflect a Chateau Elan mailing address, residents must reside within the neighborhood limits listed above. If you have questions concerning your residency, contact the Chateau Elan sales office.

Discount Cards

A ‘Resident Discount Card’ may be obtained at the Chateau Elan Golf Clubhouse with proof of license reflecting a valid Chateau Elan address and a current billing statement from cable television, utility, or voter registration card as proof of residency. Each household is eligible to receive one (1) ‘Resident Discount Card.’

Resident Discounts

Residents using this ‘Resident Discount Program’ will receive the following discounts when a valid resident card is presented at the time of purchase. Discounts may only be applied to goods and services for Chateau Elan residents. Residents may not use their ‘Resident Discount Card’ to discount goods and services for friends, non-residential family, and/or guests. Residents must be present with a valid ‘Resident Discount Card’ at point-of-sale to receive discounted offers. Discounts are subject to change and may not be used on holidays/ special event dates. Some items are exempt from the resident discount program – i.e. gift card purchases, packages, special events, wine tastings, wine tours, glasses of wine, alcohol, etc. Discounts may not be combined with other offers.
