The ingredients needed to make Shepherd's Pie (Vegetarian/Vegan /Low Carb):

1. Prepare Equipment
2. Make ready 2 Pans
3. Prepare 1 Baking Tray (I think mine was approx 20cm x 20cm)
4. Take 1 Food Pocessor (I used my trusty Nutribullet)
5. Make ready Oven
6. Get Produce
7. Take 1 Celery Sticks (finely chopped)
8. Make ready 1 Carrots (finely chopped)
9. Prepare 1/2-1 Leek (finely chopped)
10. Make ready 200 gms Mushrooms (some sliced, some finely chopped)
11. Make ready 1/2 Medium Onion (finely chopped)
12. Make ready 2 Garlic Clove (finely chopped)
13. Get 1 tbs fresh Parsley (finely chopped)
14. Prepare 3 sprigs Thyme (leave whole)
15. Get 1 head Cauliflower (processed) - for the topping
16. Get Others
17. Take 1 1/2 tab Dried Mix Herbs (or Pizza herbs)
18. Get 1 tbs Tomato Paste
19. Get 1 tsp Paprika
20. Take 3 tsp salt (2 for filling, 1 for topping)
21. Prepare 1 1/2 tsp Pepper (1 for filling, 2/2 for topping)

28. Make ready 2 tbs Olive Oil

Take the veggie crumbles into a pan. Add the Coleman's mix (this is basically the gravy that makes this pie famous) and enough water until the gravy is just a little bit watery, but still on the "thick" side. I LOVE traditional shepherd's pie (although to be completely authentic it would have to be made with ground lamb instead of beef - you can use either meat interchangeably in this recipe, lamb tends to be a little fattier though). And I love even more that I can have a low carb version that tastes just as good.

Instructions to make Shepherd's Pie (Vegetarian/Vegan /Low Carb):

1. Preheat Oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Prepare vegetables as per ingredients instructions (pic doesn't show the Cauliflower once put in the food processor or the rice flour mixture)
2. Place 1tbs Olive oil in a pan, add the onion and saute for 5mins.
3. While the onion sautes, in the other pan, add the processed Cauliflower, 2 cups almond milk, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper to the other pan. Place lid on pan and leave to simmer covered (I didn't take any pics, sorry). This will cook down for approx 15 - 20mins cooking (or until softened)
4. Back to the filling pan, Add the other tbs olive oil and then leek and garlic and saute for a further 3 minutes. Then add the Mushrooms, carrot, celery, parsley, tomato paste, thyme, mixed herbs, paprika, 2 tsp salt & 1 tsp pepper and stir.
5. Add the lentils and 1 1/2 cups Water and stir. Bring to the boil, turn down to simmer for approx 10mins
6. Just before the filling is ready, add the rice flour water mixture and cook for a minute or so and place the filling mixture into the baking tray
7. For the topping, place the cooked down Cauliflower mixture in a Food processor (I used a Nutribullet), with the butter and 2tbs Parmesan and blitz until smooth.
8. Spread the Cauliflower Mash over the top of the filling, sprinkle the last tablespoon of Parmesan over the top and bake for 30mins.
9. Once finished, serve. You can leave in the oven for longer for a browner top. I was too hungry to wait and it was great anyway (although doesn't make for the prettiest of pics 😂)
