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
Preparation
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
Chop the mushrooms, carrot and red bell pepper. Add them into your food processor and pulse until all ingredients are well mixed together.
3
Heat oil in a large skillet. Add the mixture above, diced onions, chopped dill and parsley, soy granules, eggs (or egg substitute) and spices. Sauté for 10 minutes.
4
* 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.
5
Put some parchment paper on the bottom of a casserole. Divide the mashed potatoes in two. Place the first half in the casserole and spread it with a spatula. Add the filling. Place over the other half of mashed potatoes.
6
Heat your oven at 392˚. Put the casserole in the oven. Cook for 40 minutes.
7
Don't serve immediately. Let it cool for at least half an hour.

I don't think I could set my over, or any oven, to 392 degrees. =) The pic is making me hungry, but it's only 9am.

It's 392 farenheit which means 200 Celsius.. all ovens I know have this temperature - it's medium.

200 C only matters if you have a metric stove. Here in the US, we have the ancient nonstandard English system, so 392 F should probably be 400 F. At least we don't have to know our body weight in stones or slugs. =)
