Traditional Style Vegan Shepherds Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Peel, chop, and boil the potatoes for 10-15 minutes until soft.
• Meanwhile, chop the carrots, celery, and onion, sauté in vegan butter or oil for a few minutes.
• Add the mushrooms, and cook until the edges begin to darken. Add the garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
• Add the tomato paste, flour, thyme, and sage.
• Slowly add the veggie broth and wine, stirring continuously. Let simmer for a few minutes to thicken.
• Mash the potatoes and add the soy milk and vegan butter. Add more if needed until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Lay the veggie filling into a baking dish, the spread the mashed potatoes over top. At this time you can get creative with designs and patterns for the top. The rougher the surface, the crispier it will turn out.
• Spray the surface with cooking oil. Broil for 10-15 minutes, or until the top is crispy.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn the heat to medium-low, and boil the potatoes until tender, about 25 minutes; drain.
• Stir the vegan mayonnaise, soy milk, olive oil, vegan cream cheese, and salt into the potatoes, and mash with a potato masher until smooth and fluffy. Set the potatoes aside.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), and spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion, carrots, celery, frozen peas, and tomato until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the Italian seasoning, garlic, and pepper.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low, and crumble the vegetarian ground beef substitute into the skillet with the vegetables. Cook and stir, breaking up the meat substitute, until the mixture is hot, about 5 minutes.
• Spread the vegetarian meat substitute mixture into the bottom of the baking dish, and top with the mashed potatoes, smoothing them into an even layer. Sprinkle the potatoes with the shredded soy cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and slightly browned and the casserole is hot, about 20 minutes.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; grease with olive oil spray. Add mushrooms and onion; saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, gravy, and frozen vegetables. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook until flavors blend, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Melt vegan margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Add water and garlic powder; bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Add rice milk and stir in mashed potatoes and egg substitute.
• Spoon mushroom mixture into an ungreased 8-inch glass baking dish. Spread potato mixture on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Start by putting the cubed potatoes and crushed garlic clove in a pot and fill with enough water to cover. Sprinkle a bit of salt in, as well. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes (including the garlic) and mash with the salt, pepper, soy milk and margarine. Taste and add more seasonings or margarine if needed.
• While the potatoes are cooking, prepare your filling ingredients and preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onions and carrots and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they begin to soften and the colors become more vibrant.
• Add the garlic and stir until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Add the crumbles and stir until defrosted and they begin to brown. Sprinkle with flour, salt and pepper and stir until evenly distributed. Whisk together the tomato paste and the vegetable broth and add to the pan along with the Worcestershire sauce and fresh herbs. Stir well, cover, and turn down the heat. Let simmer for 10-12 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
• Pour the filling mixture into an 11x7 glass baking dish. Drain the peas and corn and add to the pan. Mix well to combine and smooth out.
• Using a rubber spatula, dollop the potatoes over the top of the filling. Carefully spread the potatoes out over the filling, making sure to form a seal all around the edge of the baking dish to prevent the filling from bubbling over. Bake on the middle oven rack for 25 minutes, until the potatoes begin to turn golden brown. Let the pie cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
