Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large yellow onion -- chopped

1 large carrot -- chopped

4 ounces white mushrooms -- chopped

1 tablespoon tomato paste

2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce

3/4 cup Basic Vegetable Stock

1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme -- (1/2 teaspoon dried)

1 teaspoon minced fresh marjoram -- (1/2 teaspoon dried)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 teaspoons cornstarch -- dissolved in

1 tablespoon cold water

8 ounces soy vegetarian burgers -- thawed and chopped

1/2 cup frozen peas -- thawed

1/4 cup ground walnuts

3 cups mashed potatoes

1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika

 

1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet

over medium heat. Add the onion and carrot. Cover and cook until tender, about

5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook 3 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.

 

2. Stir in the tomato paste, tamari, vegetable stock, thyme, marjoram, and salt

and pepper to taste. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and simmer to thicken

slightly, about 1 minute.

 

3. Spoon the filling mixture into a lightly oiled 2-quart baking dish. Stir in

the chopped burgers, the peas, and the walnuts. Taste to adjust seasonings.

 

4. Spread the mashed potatoes over top. Sprinkle with paprika and drizzle with

the remaining oil. Bake until hot and bubbly and the top is golden brown, about

30 minutes.

 

Serves 4

NOTES : Since leftover mashed potatoes are often the inspiration for making a

Shepherd’s Pie, I thought that the ultimate version should feature filling

ingredients that are readily available and easy to use — hence the use of

veggie burgers. Simply thaw them long enough so that you can chop them and they

work like a charm, adding great taste and texture, enhanced by the ground

walnuts. If you prefer, chopped seitan or tempeh may be used instead of the

veggie burgers, just be sure to sauté them first in a little olive oil. - Robin
