I have a small confession to make: I was supposed to freeze this recipe for the winter season and post it with the first rain.
But anyone who knows me knows how hard it is for me to hold back, especially with gifts 🙂
And as always, there is an excuse: after all, we have minced meat and potatoes all year round, right?
This time we have a stir-fry of Beyond minced, with onions, carrots, garlic, and celery, fortified with red wine and green peas.
Over the Byond mixture, spread mashed potatoes with butter and nutritional yeast.
Bake for about an hour and let the mixture rest for about 20 minutes. It’s best to make this Vegan Shepherd’s Pie a day in advance to set and develop flavor.
Serve with a green salad, and put your hand on a second round in advance!
Enjoy and let me know how it turned out😋❣️
