Southwestern Shepherd's Pie Recipe
A nice shepherds pie recipe to try !
Ingredients:

* 3 Tablespoons olive oil
* 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
* 1 red onion, diced
* 2 ribs celery, diced
* 1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and diced
* 1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and diced
* 3 garlic cloves, minced
* 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
* 8 cups shredded cooked chicken
* 3/4 cup dry white wine
* 3 cups chicken broth, preferably homemade
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
* 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 heaping teaspoon dried thyme
* 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
* Kernels from 2 ears fresh corn (1 cup fresh or frozencorn)
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
* 2 cups mashed potatoes made with milk
* 2 teaspoons chili powder
* Fresh parsley and fresh thyme, to garnish, optional

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over mediumheat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly brown, about 5 minutes. Add the celery, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper and cook 3 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, and jalapeno and cook 3 minutes more, stirring occasionally.

Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour starts to brown slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken and wine and stir until the wine begins to evaporate, about 1 minute. Slowly add the chicken broth, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken and coats the back of a spoon. Reduce heat to low, bring the mixture to a low boil, and cook 5 to 10 minutes or until the mixture thickens and is creamy.

Remove from the heat and add the parsley, thyme, red pepper flakes, and corn. Season with salt and pepper, and transfer the mixture to a 9- by 13-inch baking dish.

To make the chili mashed potatoes, mix mashed potatoes with 1 teaspoon of the chili powder in a bowl until well combined.
Spoon the chili mashed potatoes on top of the chicken and bake 20 to 30 minutes or until the potato peaks are slightly brown and the chicken mixture is bubbling around the sides of the
dish. Remove the shepherds pie from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining chili powder and the parsley and thyme, if desired. Serve immediately.

Variations:
For a more traditional shepherd's pie, eliminate the southwestern spices and add diced, sauteed celery and chopped, cooked spinach to the filling mixture. The chili mashed potato topping can be made with any kind of potato; try Yukon gold potatoes or sweet potatoes for a particularly buttery taste and texture. You can also try cooked lamb or beef in place of the chicken.
The shepherds pie recipe is ready to serve...nice one ! Enjoy it for 8 to 10 servings.

Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie Recipe

2009-06-29T23:42:00.000-07:00

Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie Recipe

INGREDIENTS
For the mashed potato crust:

3 large Russet potatoes, peeled, cut up
Vegetable broth, non-dairy milk, milk or cream, as needed
Vegan buttery spread such as Smart Balance with Flax Oil, or olive oil, to taste
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh chives, to taste

For the pie:

1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin or curry spice
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups cauliflower florets (about half a smallish head), cut to bite size
3 medium-large carrots, peeled and sliced into coins
1 zucchini squash, sliced and cut into quarter moons
1 yellow summer squash, sliced, cut into quarter moons
1 heaping cup shredded cabbage or slaw mix
1 14-oz. can Muir Glen Organic Diced Tomatoes with Green Chiles, with juice
1 cup vegetable broth
1 tablespoon vegan Worcestshire sauce or balsamic vinegar
1-2 tablespoons low sugar apricot jam, to taste- to balance the heat
1 tablespoon rubbed sage
Hot red pepper chile flakes, to taste (or use hot pepper sauce)
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 14-oz. can butter beans, drained and set aside

INSTRUCTIONS
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted cold water; bring to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about twenty minutes.
In the meantime, heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet and add the cumin or curry, and garlic. Stir one minute and add the fresh chopped vegetables. Stir and cook about five minutes or
so.
Add the canned diced tomatoes with green chile, vegetable broth, vegan Worchestshire sauce or balsamic vinegar, apricot jam, sage, pepper flakes, sea salt and pepper, and stir to combine.

Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce begins to reduce. You want the vegetables to be tender-crisp, not too done, and the sauce to be thickened and not too thin [if, by chance, you need a little more liquid to cook the veggies, add a splash more broth or water]. When this has been achieved, taste test the sauce for seasoning adjustments; then remove from heat, and
gently add in the butter beans. Set aside.
Mash the cooked potatoes with a little liquid and Smart Balance or olive oil. Season with sea salt and pepper. Add chives if you like. Taste test. Don't add too much liquid or over-mix the
potatoes or they'll get gluey. Gluey spuds = not so good.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Assemble your pie::

Spoon the vegetables into a casserole dish. Top with mounds of mashed potato. I like to leave a few peaks (they get a bit golden). Sprinkle with chopped chives or parsley.
Bake in a moderate oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until the shepherds pie is bubbling and heated through. The vegetarian shepherd's pie recipe is ready....enjoy the pie !
