Deconstructed Shepherd's Pie - Favorites Version
over yogurt mashed potatoes
Our deconstructed shepherd's pie was originally featured the week of 3/17/14 and has become a favorite in a lot of kitchens! We've updated our veg version with garbanzos and mushrooms because we've been doing a lot of lentils - enjoy!
Smarts: If you want the texture of traditional shepherd's pie, just assemble filling and potatoes in a baking dish and broil.

Make
- Place potatoes into a saucepan and cover with cold water and some salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered for 12 to 15 minutes until potatoes can be easily pierced by a knife. Drain and let sit in a colander for ~5 minutes to let the steam escape (this creates creamier potatoes vs. liquidy potatoes).
- While potatoes are cooking, heat a skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then minced garlic. Once you can smell the garlic, add in onions with some salt. Saute for ~3 minutes, until softened.
- Toss in mushrooms and saute for ~3 minutes. Add in crushed tomatoes, red wine vinegar, and soy sauce, and saute until a thick sauce has formed around the mushrooms.
- Stir in frozen vegetables and beans and cook until everything is warmed through. Season to taste with more salt and pepper. If you like things sweeter, consider adding a bit of ketchup (not listed in ingredients).
- Use a masher to mash steamed potatoes with Greek yogurt and butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spoon out mashed potatoes and cover with shepherd’s pie filling and sprinkle with parsley. If you wanted to make this as a bake (more traditional shepherd’s pie), place filling into a 8x8 baker and then cover with mashed potatoes. Broil for 8 to 12 minutes to get that textured crust!
