hi friends welcome back to my channel today i will show you how to make shepherd's pie but
leg immersion of course in the original recipe there is a meat layer and on top of it there is a
mashed potato layer today instead of meat we will use some of the most delicious vegan ingredients
such as mushrooms and green lentils let's go to the kitchen
start by adding two tablespoons of olive oil
add one medium onion and cook 2-3 minutes
i have 250 grams of finely chopped mushrooms these are portobello mushrooms but you can use any other
type that you prefer and of course 2 cloves of garlic i can't imagine mushrooms without garlic
make sure the pan is at high heat and stir well to
incorporate all the beautiful flavors of mushrooms garlic and onion together
mushrooms release their water but no worries the water will be gone in couple of minutes
now let's add finely chopped two medium carrots i also add half cup of peas i use frozen peas
but you can use fresh peas if it's the season and time for a wine i add 1 cup of white wine it
doesn't have to be a fancy wine by the way you can use a cheap wine as we are using it for cooking
if you don't want to use wine of course you can use water then stir gently until wine heats up and
until the other ingredients takes up the beautiful wine taste
let's add already cooked green lentils i generally boil and store on my own but you can of course use
canned lentils that you can't find in the stores i also add a quarter cup of tomato paste tomato
paste will give a beautiful reddish color a great taste of tomato and a very nice texture
and here i have a spice mixture rosemary black pepper cumin and red pepper
and a half teaspoon of salt look at this beautiful color and texture it gets
now finally our bottom layer is ready we can set this aside now let's move on with the potato layer
in advance i boiled 1 kilogram of potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes they are nice and warm
i add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and half teaspoon of salt
it's time to mash mashing the potatoes will already give a creamy texture but if you want
your mashed potatoes even creamier you can add a quarter cup of plant-based milk at this point
if you don't have a potato masher you can of course use a fork
look at this creamy texture don't mind the small potato pieces inside
these are all nice and soft take your oven from the pyrex and let's start
adding our first layer that we previously prepared try to make an even thickness
smoothen the surface to prepare it for the potato layer as you can see i add spoonful
of mashed potatoes all over the bottom layer after i press on top with the help of a spoon
you can still use your spoon to create a smooth top
i also use a fork to make the base for a crispy top layer in the oven
i cook this in a preheated oven off 400 fahrenheit or 200 celsius degrees for 15 minutes after 15
minutes the top layer is not crisp yet that's why i turn on the grill setting of the oven and i cook
5 minutes more to brown the top now it's nice and crispy i also sprinkle some rosemary on top
so i have my first slice let's taste it
there is a moist layer of green lentils mushrooms peas and white wine tastes so good in this
the top layer is mashed potatoes just simple delicious potato taste perfect i think you must
