Vegan Shepherd's Pie



By far the most ADORABLE, delicious little Shepherd's pies EVER.

I find this dish IRONIC, because, classically, it is made with lamb...the very lamb the Shepherd is meant to guard and protect from thieves, wolves and various predators...only to become the indirect predator himself! How sad.

FUCK THAT SHIT.

We are making a pie JUST as irish and JUST as delicious WITHOUT slaying innocent little lambs.

Game over, we win.

The Stuffins


1 handfull trimmed green beans (sautéed for 5 minutes in olive oil)
8 roasted broccoli floretts
1 can yellow corn
1 can white navy beans


The Toppins


10 red potatoes boiled soft
1/2 cup Earth Balance buttery spread
salt/pepper to taste
1/4 cup almond milk

The Assembly


Mash up the potatoes and  PUREE those bitches in your kitchen-aid mixer ( I JUST GOT MINE FOR V-DAY). You want the potatoes to be SMOOTH but still firm and thick! Throw in the earth balance, almond milk, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Cook up the beans and corn in a sauce pan with a little earth balance, the water they came in, and some salt/pepper. Roast the broccoli with a little olive oil for 15 minutes at 350F and sauté your green beans for about 10 minutes.

Now, I chose to make little person pies because it was adorable, BUT, you can choose to make a casserole type dish if you wish!

Put down the corn/navy beans in your dish of choice first, than the green beans, then the broccoli. Now, you will smooth on those mashed potatoes and pile em' high!

Place your dish in a preheated over of about 350F for approximately 20 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown. Savor hot with a little mushroom gravy!

Enjoy.
