Shepherd's Pie
Shepherd's Pie It's a legendary British and Irish comfort dish now served in a completely 100% plant-based version! This dish consists of a base layer of stir-fried lentils, beans and vegetables in a thick, spiced sauce. Which is then tightly covered with a layer of creamy mashed potatoes, then baked until the surface is browned and slightly crispy. Without meat or other animal products, the flavor remains deeply savory, the texture is perfectly blended and it is very warming and very filling!
