Time 1h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

600 g Maris Piper potatoes
600 g sweet potatoes
40 g dairy-free margarine
1 onion
2 carrots
3 cloves of garlic
2 sticks of celery
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
olive oil
½ a bunch of fresh thyme
350 g chestnut mushrooms
12 sun-dried tomatoes
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
vegan red wine
100 ml organic vegetable stock
1 x 400 g tin of lentils
1 x 400 g tin of chickpeas
5 sprigs of fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
1 lemon
30 g fresh breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6.
  • Peel and chop all the potatoes into rough 2cm chunks. Place the Maris Pipers into a large pan of cold salted water over a medium heat. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender, adding the sweet potatoes after 5 minutes.
  • Drain and leave to steam dry, then return to the pan with the margarine and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Mash until smooth, then set aside.
  • Peel and finely slice the onion, carrots and 2 garlic cloves, then trim and finely slice the celery.
  • Bash the coriander seeds in a pestle and mortar until fine, then add it all to a medium pan over a medium heat with a good splash of oil. Pick in the thyme leaves, then cook for around 10 minutes, or until softened.
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop the mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes, then add to the pan along with the vinegar and 2 tablespoons of the sun-dried tomato oil from the jar.
  • Cook for a further 10 minutes, then add a splash of wine, turn up the heat, and allow it to bubble away. Stir in the stock, lentils and chickpeas (juice and all), then leave it to tick away for 5 to 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened and reduced.
  • Pick and roughly chop the parsley leaves, then stir into the pan. Season to taste, then transfer to a baking dish (roughly 25cm x 30cm).
  • Spread the mash over the top, scuffing it up with the back of a spoon.
  • Finely slice the remaining garlic clove, then place into a bowl with the rosemary leaves, lemon zest, breadcrumbs and 1 tablespoon of oil. Mix well, sprinkle over the mash, then place in the hot oven for around 10 minutes, or until piping hot through.
  • Place under the grill for a further 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden, then serve with seasonal greens.

VEGAN SHEPHERD'S PIE



Vegan Shepherd's Pie image

Whether you are sticking to meatless Mondays or eat plant-based every day, this vegan version of shepherd's pie will satisfy any cravings for that warming winter classic. It looks just like the meat version and tastes just as good. We streamlined the process (including using frozen peas and carrots and baking the pie in the same skillet used to cook the vegetables) to make the dish as accessible and weeknight-friendly as possible. Note that although a food processor chops the mushrooms really fast, you can use a knife, if you prefer.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds small creamer potatoes
8 cloves garlic
Kosher salt
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup chopped chives
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound cremini mushrooms, quartered
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
1 1/4 cups vegetable or mushroom broth
One 10-ounce bag frozen peas and carrots

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Combine the potatoes and garlic in a medium saucepan and cover with 2 inches of water. Season generously with salt and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water and then drain the potatoes. Return the potatoes and garlic to the saucepan and mash with a potato masher. Add 1/2 cup of the cooking water and the 1/3 cup olive oil and stir to combine. If needed, stir in more water until the potatoes are a spreadable consistency. Stir in the chives and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and set the mashed potatoes aside.
  • Pulse the mushrooms in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat until shimmering. Add the mushrooms, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper and cook until all the moisture from the mushrooms has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomato paste is a bit darker, about 3 minutes. Stir in the broth, followed by the peas and carrots and bring to a simmer, about 4 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat, dollop all over with the mashed potatoes and spread the potatoes into an even layer with the back of a spoon or a spatula. Bake until golden on top and bubbling around the edges, about 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
  • If you don't have vegetable broth, you can use water instead. Just add a little bit of salt and pepper to taste.
  • To make the mashed potatoes, use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture.
  • If you don't have a potato ricer, you can mash the potatoes with a fork or potato masher.
  • To make the filling, cook the vegetables until they are tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
  • If you want a thicker filling, add a tablespoon or two of cornstarch to the gravy before simmering.
  • To make the mashed potatoes, use a combination of milk and vegan butter for a richer flavor.
  • If you don't have vegan butter, you can use olive oil instead.
  • To make the topping, use a combination of panko breadcrumbs and chopped fresh parsley for a crispy and flavorful crust.
  • If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs or crushed crackers.

Conclusion:

Vegan shepherd's pie is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a cold night. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and comforting meal that the whole family will love.
