To peel shallots: Place the shallots in a bowl and pour over boiling water to cover. Leave for a few minutes and then remove the skins with a small sharp knife.

Meanwhile, boil the potatoes for 20 minutes and then drain. Mash with the remaining ingredients. Season well. Serve the meat in a small dish topped with the mash. Scatter over the parsley and a little black pepper
