Shepherd's pie or cottage pie (if we pay attention to trifles), is a satisfying and comforting food, especially when it rains (or snows).

In general, it's hard to miss when we have potatoes, plant-based minced, and green peas - only good things can come out of it - isn't that right?

Start by frying onions, carrots, celery, and garlic; add the ground vegetable, water, wine, tomato paste, and spices. Cook for about half an hour and add peas. At the same time, make the mashed potatoes - without oil! There is no need to add oil - because we already have it in the plant-based minced mixture; what's more, we spray the puree with oil for browning.

Bake at high heat for about forty-five minutes, switch to grill mode, and bake for a few more minutes until browned. Remove from the oven and let the pie rest for about half an hour. Preparing the shepherd's pie a day in advance and reheating it the next day is recommended - it will allow the ingredients to develop a flavor dialogue and stabilize.

Serve with a green salad, and put your hand on a second round in advance!

Enjoy and let me know how it turned out😋❣️
