Subject: [Irish-American] Conversion for measures


OK- I know this is rediculous but as a pathetic Irish-American can anyone change the grams, ml to cups, etc. on recipes or is there an online converter? Thank you so much. The recipe sounds wonderful by the way and I would hate to mess it up. Also, thanks to all the wonderful help on this list. Kathleen O'Donnell Grone, Black Hills of South Dakota

Shepherd's Pie

450g of minced beef
1 tablespoon of olive oil
2 medium sized chopped onions
75g chopped carrots
1 teaspoon of thyme
1 tablespoon of chopped parsley
1 tablespoon of plain flour
275ml of beef stock
1 tablespoon of tomato puree
Salt and pepper
900g of potatoes
50g of butter

Method

1. Heat the olive oil and fry the onions for about 5 minutes and
then
add the chopped carrots and continue frying for an additional 5
minutes. Then remove the vegetables from the frying pan.
2. Increase the heat on the frying pan and cook the beef in batches
and afterwards season with salt and pepper and add the vegetables
along with thyme and parsley.
3. Stir in the flour and gradually add the beef stock to the
mixture.
Then add the tomato puree and reduce the heat and allow mixture
to
cook for 30 minutes.
4. Peel and boil the potatoes and sprinkle with salt. After about 25
minutes the potatoes should be ready and at this point mash them
and add butter.
5. When the meat is ready put it into a baking dish and spread the
mashed potato on top. Now bake for a further 25 minutes until
golden and crispy on top.
