This is a wonderful recipe for a meatless shepherd's pie, a comforting dish especially during the cold winter months. A vegan twist on the traditional English comfort food.

Ingredients:

For the filling - 
  • 2 tablespoons - Olive oil
  • 2 medium - Onions
  • 4 - 5 cloves - Garlic - minced
  • 3 medium - Carrots - peeled and sliced
  • 3 stalks - Celery - sliced
  • 8 oz. - Mushrooms - sliced
  • 2 medium - Tomatoes - diced
  • 8 oz. - Seitan - ground (wheat gluten - vegan meat substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon - Italian seasoning
  • Salt & pepper - to taste

For the mashed potato crust -
  •  6-8 medium - Potatoes - peeled, diced and boiled in water for 20 minutes
  • 2 tablespoons -  Vegenaise (vegan mayonnaise)
  • 1/2 cup - Soy / Almond Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon -  Garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper - to taste
  • 1/2 cup - Vegan Cheese (shredded) - I used the 'Follow your Heart' brand shredded mozzarella cheese

  1. Preheat the oven at 400 degrees F.
  2. For the filling - heat the olive oil in a pan. Add the onions and garlic. Saute for 4 - 5 minutes or until translucent.
  3. Add the sliced carrots, celery, mushrooms and tomatoes. Saute and cook for 5 - 7 minutes.
  4. Add the ground seitan. Stir for 3 - 4 minutes.
  5. Add the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and mix well. Simmer for another 2 - 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and set this mixture aside.
  6. For the mashed potatoes crust - mash the boiled potatoes. Add the vegenaise, soy / almond milk, garlic powder, salt and pepper into the mashed potatoes. Mix well. Set aside.
  7. For assembling the shepherd's pie - grease a 9 X 11 inch glass baking pan with olive oil.
  8. Pour the vegetable and seitan filling into the greased baking pan. Smooth it with a spatula.
  9. Spread the mashed potato layer on top. Smooth it with a spatula.
  10. Sprinkle the shredded vegan cheese on top.
  11. Bake the shepherd's pie in the preheated oven at 400 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until the pie is bubbling hot and the cheese is melted. 
  12. Serve hot with a side salad!
