Pilchard cottage pie

This recipe came about during my varsity days, when I shared a flat with two other girls and we took turns making dinner on weeknights. It’s great, not just because it’s affordable but also because it’s a lifesaver on days when you forget to “take out the meat” to defrost it. It’s a winner, too, for busy moms who need to whip up something quick for impatient little tummies that are always craving something new. Basically, it’s a handy way to put a delicious dinner on the table in minutes.</
