Vegetarian Mushroom Shepherd's Pie

Ingredients

• 1 kg red skin potatoes
• 100g soy granules
• 1 kg mushrooms
• 1 carrot
• 1 red bell pepper
• 2 onions, diced
• 1 bunch of dill, chopped
• 1 bunch of parsley, chopped
• 2 eggs ( or egg substitutes for vegans, you can also add 3-4 tbsp dry yeast flakes)
• sea salt, to taste
• 1/2 tsp ground pepper
• 1 tsp sweet paprika
• 1 tbsp dry thyme
• 2 tbsp unrefined sunflower oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel potatoes and put them in a large pot filled with water. Boil them until they're tender. Mash them and let them cool for a while.

2. 2

   Chop the mushrooms, carrot and red bell pepper.

3. 3

   Add them into your food processor and pulse until all ingredients are well mixed together.

   Heat oil in a large skillet.

5. 5

   Add the mixture above, diced onions, chopped dill and parsley, soy granules, eggs (or egg substitute) and spices. Saut for 10 minutes.

6. 6

   * I added the soy granules without boiling them because the mushrooms contain a lot of water and these soy granules will absorb all excess water.

7. 7

   Put some parchment paper on the bottom of a casserole. Divide the mashed potatoes in two.

8. 8

   Place the first half in the casserole and spread it with a spatula.

9. 9
