vegan chopped liver\vegan shepherd's pie

[Guest guest]

I looked through my own files but could not come up

with a lentil " chopped liver " ; however, I know there

are several out there on the internet; you might run a

search. I improvise quite a bit in my cooking, and I

don't see why you couldn't use the same basic recipe

and seasoning ideas subbing cooked lentils.

 

As for the pie - I make a vegetarian " Shepard's Pie "

using assorted roasted veggies. I make extra veggies

and potatoes ahead of time for this purpose.

 

I then make a gravy made with 2-3 cups vegetable broth

thickened with some sweet rice flour or arrowroot

starch. I often add some molasses for color and iron.

Sometimes I add a little curry.

 

I like to add cooked chick peas or lentils or beans

for added protein.

 

I combine the roasted veggies, beans and gravy.

 

I layer this veggie-bean mixture into an oven-safe

casserole dish and top it with mashed potatoes; bake

at 350 degrees until heated through and bubbling,

about 30 minutes.

 

It's different every time I make it depending upon the

veggies I have on hand. Usually there are sliced

carrots, peas, mushrooms, and broccoli for starters.

 

Hope that helps a bit!
