Shepherd's Pie?!
Shepherd's Pie?
Does anyone know of any low-calorie vegetarian Shepherd's Pie recipes that I can make for tonight? This is our first time making it and we're trying to be as healthy as possible to lose some weight.

This is so delicious, I often make it just replacing garbanzo with "cooked kidney beans with tomato paste"
Vegetarian Sheppard Pie
4 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup potato water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
8 ounces black beans or
1 1/2 cups garbanzo beans, cooked
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup water
paprika
Preheat oven to 350. Place potatoes in a large saucepan, and add just enough water to cover. Boil for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
Drain potatoes, reserving liquid. Mash cooked potatoes with hot water, salt, and onion powder.
Add additional liquid if desired. Set aside. Combine beans, corn, and peas in a 9 inch pie pan. In a separate bowl, whisk together peanut butter and water, until smooth. Pour sauce evenly over vegetables. Top with mounds of mashed potatoes. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until potatoes start to brown.
Serve hot or at room temperature.

A vegetarian Shepard Pie? That alone is sac-religious
It would not be shepherds pie without lamb.
That is why they call it Shepherds pie????
google..or dogpile
since your a vegetarian, get some flavored tofu and some mushrooms, and your favorite seasonings, mix together,brown in a skillet, in a casserole dish put a good layer of your mixture, a layer of whole kernal corn ( or creamed style ), then a layer of mashed potatoes, bake in a 350 degree oven till your potatoes are a golden brown
they make meatless "ground beef" that you could very easily just replace with a recipe calling for actual ground beef.
I make something that is not so shepard's pie-esque, but instead of the beef-onion mixture I saute zucchini, mushrooms, peppers, onions with white wine or vermouth, a little V8, add lots of salt, pepper, and parsley, and put mashed potatoes above (or below) it. It's like a combination of ratatouille and shepard's pie.
Cook onion in little oil, add quorn mince and vegan gravey or stock, and cook swede until soft and mash it. Put mince in oven dish with mash swede on top. Bake for 20 mins. Yummy and it diet cos it no potatoes. And you can freeze it up to a month.
i'm not sure if it's low calorie or not, but it's delicous.
we used mashed potatoes, carrots, mushroom. garlic onions, sal pepper and litelife sausage style. and bake it all together it's delicous. oh and soy garden butter on the top.
INGREDIENTS
5 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into thirds
4 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
ground black pepper to taste
2 cups milk
3 cups water
1/2 cup kasha (toasted buckwheat groats)
2/3 cup bulgur
2 cups chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, diced
2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole corn kernels, blanched
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
DIRECTIONS
Gently boil potatoes in a large pot of water for 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain, and return to the pot. Mash potatoes with 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup milk until fairly smooth. Set aside.
In a saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups water with 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil. Stir in kasha. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups more water, and bring to a boil. Add bulgur, cover, and remove from heat. Let stand for 10 minutes.
In a large saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and carrots; saute until the onions soften. Add mushrooms; cook and stir for 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle flour over vegetables; stir constantly for 2 minutes, or until flour starts to brown. Pour remaining 1 1/2 cups milk over the vegetables, and increase heat to high. Stir with a whisk until sauce is smooth. Reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in corn, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste.
Mix together vegetable mixture and kasha mixture in a large bowl. Spoon into a buttered 10 inch pie pan, and smooth with a spatula. Spread mashed potatoes over top, leaving an uneven surface.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven for 30 minutes. Garnish with the chopped parsley, and serve.
I have an awesome tofu shepherd's pie recipe from "the farm vegetarian cookbook" that I would love to share with you. It's pretty involved and would take a loooooong time to type so email me if you are interested and I'll send it your way.
