Shepherd's Pie - Vegan Recipe

Actually, I thought Shepherd’s Pie only went in the Autumn/Winter season. However, the Recipe so pleased that I just made it. It’s summer and it’s 27 degrees outside. Was it a mistake? No, absolutely not, because the dish is just mega good and if it’s not necessarily 36 degrees in the shade, you can enjoy it even on summer days. The nice thing about it is that you can portion it really well and freeze it. Side dishes aren’t really necessary either, since it’s so substantial. So my dears, I would say go for the lenses!

Sweet potato for the win – Shepherd’s Pie

Ok, let’s think about how best to prepare the Shepherd’s so that everything goes as quickly as possible. First of all I prepare the Mashed potatoes prepare. Peel the potatoes, Sweet potato clean and cut everything into cubes. Boil them in salted water until they are nice and cooked through. In the meantime, I prepare the stuffing from onion, garlic, thyme, marjoram, basil, oregano, chili, cloves, nutmeg, molasses, mushrooms, mixed vegetables, lentils, corn, starch and Vegetable milk to. If you like, substitute the spices from thyme to chili with an Italian spice blend I’ve linked below. Once it’s all nicely combined in the pan, it goes directly into the baking dish. The mashed potatoes are spread, smoothed out and off to the oven.

How healthy are lentils actually?

I think there is hardly anyone who would claim that lentils are unhealthy. Well, there are always a few people who don’t like them or just can’t stand them. Yet there is so much in the little legumes. Above all, they are very good sources of protein and are particularly well utilized by the body when combined with rice or cereals. It is not for nothing that for centuries there has been the combination of lentils and rice, or pasta. With this method, you provide your body with all the important amino acids in one wash. Here you come to my fried rice with lentils. If you like, just combine a serving of whole wheat pasta with your Shepherd’s Pie.

But what else is in lentils? Here is a small overview:

  • B vitamins
  • Vitamin A (resp. the precursor provitamin A)
  • Vitamin E
  • Magnesium, Phosphorus, calcium, potassium
  • Iron
  • Zinc

However, lentils are not only healthy, but also incredibly versatile and hard to imagine vegan cuisine without them. Simple Lentil Dal , Soy Pulled Pork Sandwich , Lentil Soup , Lentil Bolognese and Lentil Roast are just a few examples of the use of the healthy legume. I hope there is also something for you!

For dessert I recommend caramelized apples and pecans together with a scoop of Vanilla ice cream . Simply wonderful.

  • High fiber
  • aromatic
  • Spicy
