Vegan Shepherd’s Pie

This Vegan Shepherd’s Pie is a real family favorite in my house. It is a healthy, filling vegan meal which is packed full of flavor. It is a perfect dish to prepare in advance and simply cook when you are ready to eat.

To make this gorgeous dish, start by cooking the lentil and tomato sauce for the base. Boil potatoes to make the mashed potato topping. The secret ingredient for my mashed potato is to use low-fat eggless mayonnaise, which brings both flavor and creaminess to the topping. Once prepared, spread the topping over the lentil mixture. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, parsley flakes, and coarse ground pepper and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.

To make my Vegan Shepherd’s Pie, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Vegan Shepherd’s Pie

1	Saute vegetables	5
Place the diced vegetables in a large saucepan. Saute in about ½ a cup vegetable broth for about 5 minutes, until slightly tender.
2	Add tomato paste, herbs and lentils	30
Stir in a 6-ounce can of tomato paste, 1 teaspoon each of rosemary, garlic powder, sea salt, 1 bay leaf, and 1½ cup of dry green or brown lentils and about 3½ cups of water. Bring the contents of the saucepan to a boil. Reduce to medium-high heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
3	Cook potatoes	20
While the lentils cook, dice 8 red potatoes and add them to a stockpot. Cover with water and cook for about 20 minutes until tender.
4	Transfer lentils to casserole dish	1
Once the lentils are cooked, remove the bay leaf and discard. Transfer the lentil mixture to a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, and set it to one side while you prepare the mashed potato topping.
5	Heat oven	5
Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
6	Drain potatoes	2
Remove the pot of cooked potatoes from the heat. Drain the water using a colander.
7	Mash potatoes	3
Place the cooked potato chunks in a large mixing bowl. Add low-fat, oil-free vegan mayo, plant milk, and salt. Blend together with a hand mixer until smooth.
8	Top lentils with potatoes	3
Spread the potato topping over the lentils. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, parsley flakes, and coarse ground pepper.
9	Bake	25
Bake the pie in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the sauce is bubbling up around the edges.
10	Serve	15
Leave to stand for 15 minutes before serving.
