[@jorisplessers8902]

I prefer it with a stout instead of red wine. And if you use uncooked lentils they soak up all the flavours, it's worth the extra cooking time in my opinion! By the way, my mother thought me to always add nutmeg to mashed potatoes, it takes them to the next level. Give it a try next time!

Hey Joris, if you use dry lentils, when would you add them and how long to cook? l like the idea of skipping separate cooking of the lentils.

Finally got around to making this Shepherds Pie and it was a huge hit with my family. Family has taken on a new dynamic these days during the pandemic. I moved from living alone in Florida, lost my job, moved to Oregon with my daughter. Family now consists of my daughter, my son, his 16 year old son and 3 year old daughter plus my daughters 20 year old college student! I digress; they all loved the shepherds pie. In my 77 years, I am enjoying the organic plant based living in Oregon with promising hopes of a beautiful garden this year. The seedlings are in; the soil amended and I’m excited.

[@madcommodore]

20/21 of my weekly meals are now vegetarian, and most are vegan so my homemade Shepherd's Pie was a tough one to replace but essential to make nicer than any meat based Shepherd's/Cottage pie on sale in supermarkets at any price, even though I always made my own. I found roasting onions dry with no oil in the oven chopped works well. Combine with PLENTY of ground black pepper powder, white pepper powder, cumin and coriander powder with some dry fried outer surface of cauliflower (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick outer layer that looks like coral) was enough when combined with fried mushrooms. Make a gravy using water that has been boiled with skins of roasted tomato and left to steep. Add just the juice from a tin/carton of cooked chickpeas and it is really close in taste and texture, a pinch or two of dried herbs and a pinch of esspresso coffee and job done. Pulsed then fried red pepper adds a meaty element to the sauce too but might be a little too sweet for some. I used "Flora Buttery" vegan margarine for the mashed potato topping and for an easy hint of cheese just add some tahini and some garlic puree to the mash. It is nice enough that my cats will eat the vegan mince replacement filling and I never have to buy minced meat ever again in my life (I have also made Chili-con-carne and Lasagne vegan filling replacements but not quite given up on real cheese on the lasagne topping)

The cauliflower was a new idea. Will definitely add next time I make. I actually had Shepherds pie in the freezer so had for dinner yesterday. First time I froze. It defrosted well in fridge. Had a little liquid I poured out. I don’t use milk alternative. I use veggie broth and sweet potatoes instead. Adding the cauliflower next time for increased nutrients . Thanks for sharing recipes.

Addicted and appreciative as I am of your videos (I made your ranch dressing-my favourite- only yesterday) ,as Nina M already commented, the clue is in the name SHEPHERD'S pie. It used to be made with mutton and is nowadays made with lamb. Cottage pie is the beef version. Regardless of the name, however, your version does look very tasty and I'll be giving it a try very soon.

[@ninam3255]

New Year Greetings from lockdown UK.... Thanks for the fabulous video! Here in the UK traditionally Shepherds Pie is made with Lamb Mince and Cottage Pie is made with ground beef.... I am going to give this a try.... we can’t get the vegan foods you mentioned in your video. Looks like a nice range.... It’s interesting about the tahini I would never have though of adding that to the gravy! Stay Safe 🤗

[@chedderbug2820]

@ Nina , Why can't you get vegan items? Just veggies and lentils...unless I missed something in the video. Myself, I would pass on tahini (good idea though) and just puree small amount of cooked veggies and lentils with veggie broth or water if I didn't have any veggie broth, to give it that "gravy" to the dish. Shepherd's pie is such a lovely comfort food. I always find it interesting how we (Americans and our English family across the pond) have such different names for the same item or the way we say and do certain things 🤗 God bless you Nina and to every person who reads this 🙏 We will get through this together, be it across the street or across the pond and every corner of this world. Please send prayers and healing thoughts to those countries and places that are less fortunate than many. Stay healthy and safe everyone. 🙏

When I make my mashed potatoes I add almond milk while using my KitchenAide mixer, little by little as I need more, and I have never had an issue with the consistency of my potatoes.

great video

[@daksmom1999]

Slightly off topic.......I watched a video of yours a couple of weeks ago, but I don’t remember which one it was. Anyway, you made a sauce in your BlendTec, and as you scooped the sauce out of the blender, you left in quite a bit of sauce. I kept yelling to you to get the rest of the sauce out, but you didn’t hear me, because you then set the blender aside. Right after watching your video, I watched another video from someone else, and they made something in a blender. BUT, they were able to scoop out all of the sauce because of this handy gadget.....a long thin scraper is what it’s called, and you get it from pampered chef. It works, getting almost all of a sauce out from a blender. I’m glad I got it, because, I was using a big spatula to first get as much sauce as I could from the blender, then I switched to a small spatula to get more of the sauce out, then I switched to a spoon to get the rest of the sauce out. With the long thin scraper, I just use that scraper. A real time saver. Just a mention of it in case you think you might want to get one so that you can get all of your sauces out of the blender.
