VEGETARIAN SHEPHERD'S PIE

Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie ♡ saucy mushrooms, carrots, and peas topped with creamy mashed potatoes. Real food meets comfort food!

Provided by Lindsay

Categories     Dinner

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 shallots, minced (or some onions and garlic)
16 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
6 carrots, peeled and chopped (about 2 cups)
fresh herbs to taste (I used 1 sprig of rosemary, thyme, and a bay leaf)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup red wine
1-2 cups veggie broth
1 teaspoon salt (more or less to taste)
2 cups frozen peas
6 Yukon gold potatoes (about 2 pounds)
1/2 cup full fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup butter or olive oil
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Make the mashed potatoes: Peel the potatoes. Boil them until fork tender (you want them to mash easily). Drain, mash, and mix in yogurt and butter. Season to taste. (You can also use the Instant Pot method which is quick and easy! That's what I do.)
  • In a large oven-safe pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until fragrant. Add mushrooms, carrots, and whole herbs (you will pull the herbs out later). Sauté until carrots are softened.
  • Add tomato paste and flour to the pot and stir. Pour in the red wine (sizzzzle) and scrape all the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Let the wine cook out for a minute or two. Slowly add the broth, stirring it in until a gravy starts to form. Season with salt. Simmer over low heat to get it thickened even further.
  • Remove the herbs. Stir in the peas, spread the mashed potatoes on top (brush with butter to be extra awesome), and bake for 15 minutes at 350. I finished mine on the broil setting for a few minutes to get it nice and brown on top.
  • Scoop up a hearty serving and live your best cozy life.

VEGETARIAN SHEPHERD'S PIE



Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie image

French green lentils (Puy lentils) make a hearty base for this vegetarian shepherd's pie. They may be slighter harder to find than other lentils, but they're worth the extra effort. Unlike brown or red lentils, green lentils retain their shape and texture after cooking, which means they stand up well to a long simmer and this rich potato topping. Store-bought vegetable stock can vary greatly so be sure to buy one with a pleasant flavor that isn't too sweet. (Note: Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese contains rennet, so it is not vegetarian. Use a vegetarian Parmesan or leave it out. If you leave it out, be sure to season the potatoes well with salt and pepper.)

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and quartered (about 3 large)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup packed grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese or vegetarian Parmesan (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup French lentils
4 sprigs thyme
3 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
4 tablespoons butter
8 ounces sliced mixed mushrooms, such as button, cremini, and shitaake
1 large leek, white part only, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring a gallon of water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil over high heat. Add potatoes to boiling water and boil for about 15 to 20 minutes, until soft; a knife should go in with almost no resistance.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the filling: In a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with high sides or an enameled cast-iron braiser over medium-high heat, bring the lentils, thyme and 2 cups of the broth to a simmer with 1 teaspoon salt. Reduce the heat and continue to cook the lentils, partly covered, until they are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Transfer the lentils to a bowl.
  • Finish the topping: In a small saucepan or a microwave oven, heat 6 tablespoons of the butter and milk together until butter melts. Drain potatoes well and return to pot. Using a masher or a ricer, mash hot potatoes until smooth. Mix in the hot butter mixture and sour cream just until blended. Stir in 1/2 of the Parmigiano. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside.
  • Finish the filling: Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Melt the butter in the 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until they are deep golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add leeks, carrots and garlic, and continue to cook until tender, another 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the tomato paste and stir, cooking until it is well combined, another 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stir and cook for 1 minute. Add remaining 1 1/2 cups broth, cooked lentils and peas, and cook until thickened. Remove thyme stems and stir in lemon juice to taste.
  • Top the mixture with dollops of the mashed potatoes, then spread them out over the top. (Or transfer the lentil mixture to a 3-quart casserole dish and spread into an even layer, and top with potatoes.) Sprinkle with the remaining Parmigiano. Transfer to the oven and, if the mixture is at the top edges of your pan, set a foil-lined baking sheet underneath the pan to catch any drips. Bake the pie until the potatoes have begun to brown and the edges are bubbling, about 30 minutes. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.

Easy Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 cups low-sodium mushroom broth
1/3 cup dry red wine
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3/4 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, and cut into large dice
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 pounds cremini mushrooms, stemmed and quartered
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
3 medium celery stalks, finely chopped
5 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 medium celery root, peeled and small dice
3 medium carrots, peeled and small dice
2 medium parsnips, peeled and small dice
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
2/3 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together broth, wine, tomato paste, and flour until evenly combined and smooth. Stir in dried mushrooms and set aside to reconstitute, at least 30 minutes. Strain mushrooms before using, reserving liquid.
  • Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with heavily salted water by 2 inches. Bring potatoes to a boil and cook until fork tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Heat the oven on low broil and place a rack in the upper third. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 3 to 4-quart Dutch oven (or oven-ready saucepan) over medium-high heat. When it foams, add half the mushrooms and cook, stirring rarely, until mushrooms are browned, about 5 minutes. Remove mushrooms from pan, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and set aside. Repeat to cook off remaining mushrooms.
  • Return pan to stove over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the butter, onion, celery, and garlic, and cook until softened and golden, about 2 minutes. Add celery root, carrot, parsnip, and herbs, and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook until browned and softened, about 6 minutes.
  • Add wine mixture to pan and deglaze by stirring and scraping up any browned bits. Let cook until simmering and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in reserved mushrooms and any juices that have accumulated and simmer until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve in pan.
  • When potatoes are ready, drain well. Return to pan and mash until uniformly smooth. Fold in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and milk, and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. If necessary, keep warm over low heat.
  • Dot potatoes over vegetable mixture and spread to edges of pan to cover completely. Rough up the surface of the potatoes so there are bits that will get browned and crunchy. Broil until top is golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. Serve.

I love lentils! After making some lentil meatloaf (http://www.food.com/recipe/really-good-vegetarian-meatloaf-really-33921) and lentil and rice tacos (http://www.food.com/recipe/easy-inexpensive-lentil-tacos-304604) I wanted to expand my use of lentils to my all-time favorite dish: Shepherd's Pie! This recipe is vegetarian, wheat free and very versatile. It was a hit with my guests tonight and my carnivorous young boys had seconds. My only regret is that they ate it all!

  • Use a variety of vegetables in your pie. This will give it a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, potatoes, peas, corn, and celery.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. Cheddar and mozzarella are classic choices, but you can also try using Parmesan, Gruyère, or goat cheese.
  • Make sure to season your filling well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling hot.

Conclusion

Farmer's pie is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold night. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With so many variations to choose from, there is sure to be a farmer's pie recipe that everyone will enjoy.
