I would just make it exactly the same as a normal cottage pie, but instead of adding meat, just add soya mince, or even better quorn mince!. That has the same shape and consistancy as meat (well, ish, it;s a good substitute anyway)!.

Alternately you can make one ewith vegetables!. !?I would reccommend frying a an onion, cooking a carrot, a couple of florets of broccolli, 2 tablespoons of peas/sweetcorn, and a pepper, before adding the tinned tomatos, making the potato mixture, etc!.

Basically, just make a normal cottage pie and add soya mince or vegetables instead of meat!. Easy and delicious!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I love vege cottage pie!. Boil up some potatoes and make them into mash!. While the potatoes are boiling fry up an onion and some garlic, then add quorn mince, then add onion gravy (I use the granules you just add boiling water to), then add sliced carrots and peas!. Bubble away for 10 mins!. Then, put in a dish, top with the mash and stick it in a preheated oven for half an hour (about a medium heat, 180ish)!. Then - eat! It is he ultimate comfort food ang good for you too!Www@FoodAQ@Com

use either Quorn Mince (fungus based) or Dried Soya protein (bean based)!. with Say protein soak it in some hot water with a drop of mushroom ketchup or soy sauce to add flavour!.

then add mushrooms onions and any other veg you like and fry/boil (your preference) till hot then cover with some mash, and place in hot oven till brown!.

its pretty str8 forwards and there is o need to use a recipe just play it by experience and add what you like!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
