Vegan Shepherds Pie With Sweet Potato Recipes

VEGAN SWEET POTATO SHEPHERDS PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Prick sweet potatoes all over with a fork, place on baking pan, and cook for 30 minutes or until they tender enough to mash with a fork. Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove from the oven, mash with skins on, and set aside.
• Reset oven to 350 degrees for later on in the recipe.
• Preheat large nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
• When pan is ready add celery and carrots. Let cook for 2-3 minutes adding a little veggie broth if necessary to prevent sticking. Toss in the onions and let cook for another 1-2 minutes.
• Add the garlic, coriander, parsley, thyme and rosemary along with 1-2 Tbsp. of veggie stock. Allow to cook for 5-10 minutes.
• While mixture cooks, slice mushrooms and chop up the sun-dried tomatoes. (If you bought sliced mushrooms just chill for a few minutes.) Add the mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and veggie stock. Let cook for about 10 minutes.
• Add the lentils and chickpeas. Mix well to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Once everything is mixed together pour into a 9×11 or 9×13 baking dish (affiliate link), spread the mashed sweet potatoes evenly over mixture. Put back in oven and bake for 10 minutes allowing the whole dish to get hot.
• Remove from oven and enjoy!

VEGAN SHEPHERD'S PIE

Steps:

• Add the sweet potatoes to a pot and top with water. Bring to a rolling boil then cover and let cook for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the lentils and quinoa to a small saucepan. Cover with 2 cups of broth, the fresh thyme and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce to simmer. Cook for about 30 minutes until the water has been absorbed.
• When the potatoes are done cooking, drain the water and add in non-dairy milk, butter, salt and pepper. With an electric mixer, whip potatoes until smooth and creamy. Cover and set aside.
• When the lentils are done, preheat the oven to 425ºF and heat the olive oil in a large skillet (or dutch oven) over medium heat.
• Add the mushrooms, onion, celery, carrot and garlic powder to the hot skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until veggies are tender, about 10 minutes. Add lentil-quinoa mixture and stir to combine. Stir in balsamic vinegar and 1 cup of broth.
• Whisk the remaining 1/2 cup broth together with the arrowroot powder and in a separate dish. Once smooth, stir into the filling mixture.
• Transfer the lentil mixture to a baking dish (I used a 2 qt, but 9x13 will also work). Smooth with a spatula and top with whipped potatoes. Spread the potatoes out in an even layer and smooth over with a spatula. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for 15 - 20 minutes until potatoes have browned slightly.
• Remove and let cool for 5 minutes then serve!

Add lentils, tomatoes, stock, and maple syrup. Bring to a boil; simmer filling until flavors are blended, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until softened, about 20 minutes. Drain water; add coconut milk and remaining 1 teaspoon cumin to the sweet potatoes. Mash until smooth.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan, then fry 1 halved and sliced large onion until golden.
• Add 2 large carrots, cut into sugar-cube size pieces and most of the 2 tbsp chopped thyme, reserving a sprinkling for later.
• Pour in 200ml red wine, 150ml water and a 400g chopped tomatoes, then crumble in 2 vegetable stock cubes and simmer for 10 mins.
• Tip in a 410g can green lentils, including the juice, then cover and simmer for another 10 mins until the carrots still have a bit of bite and the lentils are pulpy.
• Meanwhile, boil 950g sweet potatoes, cut into chunks, for 15 mins until tender, drain well, then mash with 25g butter and season to taste.
• Pile the lentil mixture into a pie dish, spoon the mash on top, then sprinkle over 85g grated vegetarian mature cheddar and the remaining thyme. The pie can now be covered and chilled for 2 days, or frozen for up to a month.
• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Cook for 20 mins if cooking straightaway, or for 40 mins from chilled, until golden and hot all the way through. Serve with broccoli.
