Hello everybody, it’s me again, Dan, welcome to our recipe site. Today, we’re going to make a special dish, shepherd's pie (vegetarian/vegan /low carb). It is one of my favorites. This time, I’m gonna make it a little bit tasty. This will be really delicious.

How to Make Vegan Low Carb Shepherd's Pie It all starts with the classic Shepherd's Pie filling - only it's vegan, and gluten free. Usually Shepherd's Pie is made with ground beef and a roux made of butter, flour and beef broth, but I keep it light with gluten free ground oats and an umami-rich mushroom broth instead. Take the veggie crumbles into a pan. Add the Coleman's mix (this is basically the gravy that makes this pie famous) and enough water until the gravy is just a little bit watery, but still on the "thick" side.

Steps to make Shepherd's Pie (Vegetarian/Vegan /Low Carb):

1. Preheat Oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Prepare vegetables as per ingredients instructions (pic doesn't show the Cauliflower once put in the food processor or the rice flour mixture)
2. Place 1tbs Olive oil in a pan, add the onion and saute for 5mins.
3. While the onion sautes, in the other pan, add the processed Cauliflower, 2 cups almond milk, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper to the other pan. Place lid on pan and leave to simmer covered (I didn't take any pics, sorry). This will cook down for approx 15 - 20mins cooking (or until softened)
4. Back to the filling pan, Add the other tbs olive oil and then leek and garlic and saute for a further 3 minutes. Then add the Mushrooms, carrot, celery, parsley, tomato paste, thyme, mixed herbs, paprika, 2 tsp salt & 1 tsp pepper and stir.
5. Add the lentils and 1 1/2 cups Water and stir. Bring to the boil, turn down to simmer for approx 10mins
6. Just before the filling is ready, add the rice flour water mixture and cook for a minute or so and place the filling mixture into the baking tray
7. For the topping, place the cooked down Cauliflower mixture in a Food processor (I used a Nutribullet), with the butter and 2tbs Parmesan and blitz until smooth.
8. Spread the Cauliflower Mash over the top of the filling, sprinkle the last tablespoon of Parmesan over the top and bake for 30mins.
9. Once finished, serve. You can leave in the oven for longer for a browner top. I was too hungry to wait and it was great anyway (although doesn't make for the prettiest of pics 😂)

Serve the vegan shepherd's pie with a side of steamed green beans. So flavorful and satisfying that you won't miss the meat! Shepherd's Pie was one of my all time favorite foods growing up. It's the perfect mix of comfort food carbs with meat, veggies, and seasoning. But now that I'm grown and it's time to eat sustainably I have to get rid of the meat.
