SHEPHERDESS PIE
Ingredients:
2 Garden Thyme Luna Burgers
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
2 cup vegetable broth
¼ cup whole wheat flour
¼ cup finely chopped fresh parsley, plus a little extra for garnish
½ tsp. salt
Black pepper to taste
(potato topping)
3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
⅓ cup non-dairy milk
¼ cup margarine or grapeseed oil
¾ tsp. salt
Black pepper to taste
Place potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Cover and bring to a boil. Let boil for 20 minutes or until they easily cut with a fork. Drain and return to pot. Add milk, margarine, salt, and pepper.
Use a potato masher to mash everything together until creamy. Keep warm until ready to use. Pre-heat the oven to 375°.
In a nonstick skillet, heat Luna Burgers as directed on package. Crumble while heating. Add the onion and sauté for an additional 5 minutes. Then add garlic, salt and pepper and sauté for 1 minute more (add a tbs of water or oil if veggies begin to stick). Stir in the corn and peas.
Mix together the broth and flour until mostly dissolved, a few lumps are ok. Add to the burger/veg mixture along with the parsley and stir. Let thicken for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally (it will thicken more as it bakes). Place filling in a 9x9 baking dish. Spoon potatoes over the filling.
Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes. Potatoes should be slightly browned. If they are not, place under broiler for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley.
Serves 6-8.
