Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie I image

I had this at a friend's potluck dinner, and she gave me the recipe. It's definitely a comfort food on a cold winter night. The only downside is that it takes a while to prepare, but it's well worth the effort.

Time 1h50m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into thirds
4 tablespoons butter, divided
1 ½ teaspoons salt
ground black pepper to taste
2 cups milk
3 cups water
½ cup kasha (toasted buckwheat groats)
⅔ cup bulgur
2 cups chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, diced
2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole corn kernels, blanched
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Gently boil potatoes in a large pot of water for 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain, and return to the pot. Mash potatoes with 2 tablespoons butter, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup milk until fairly smooth. Set aside.
  • While potatoes are cooking, bring 1 1/2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil. Stir in kasha. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups more water, and bring to a boil. Add bulgur, cover, and remove from heat. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 10-inch pie pan or casserole dish.
  • In a large saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and carrots; saute until the onions soften. Add mushrooms; cook and stir for 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle flour over vegetables; stir constantly for 2 minutes, or until flour starts to brown. Pour remaining 1 1/2 cups milk over the vegetables, and increase heat to high. Whisk until sauce is smooth. Reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in corn, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste.
  • Combine vegetable mixture and kasha in a large bowl. Transfer to prepared pan and smooth with a spatula. Spread mashed potatoes over top, leaving an uneven surface.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Garnish with the chopped parsley, and serve.

The mashed potatoes were a bit runny. I think I'll use less milk next time.

This dish was a bit too heavy for me. I think I'll try a lighter version next time.
