A Warmth of Flavour

Vegetable shepherd's pie with steamed vegetables, covered with a yellow potato mash... yummy. 

Recipe

Serves 2 

Ingredients: 

1-2 organic shallots 

1 organic leeks 

3-4 organic garlic cloves 

3-4 large organic yellow potatoes 

6-7 organic asparagus shoots 

2 tbsp of organic virgin olive oil 

2 tsp of organic coconut oil 

1 cup of organic cauliflower 

3 medium sized portobello mushrooms 

2 free-range happy chicken eggs 

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. 

2. Chop garlic, leeks and shallots and let sit for 5 minutes. 

3. Boil water. 

4. Chop potatoes and add to water.

5. Chop portobello mushrooms (your choice of size). 

6. Thinly slice the cauliflower. Set aside.

7. Place asparagus shoots in a glass oven pan and add some fluoride-free water at the bottom. 

8. Place in oven for about 5 minutes. This will soften the asparagus until we ready to add it to the mix. (You can choose to steam the asparagus instead of this method).

9. Heat a pan at medium- low heat and add organic olive oil. 

10. Add chopped leeks, shallots, mushrooms and garlic and lightly fry for about 4-5 min.

11. Once potatoes are softened, remove them and place them in a mixing bowl. 

12. Add 2 eggs and the coconut oil to a mixing bowl and mash everything. You can use a hand masher - it works really well (see image below). 

13. Line the bottom of a 9" glass oven pan with the thin slices of cauliflower. 

14. Chop the asparagus and add as a layer on top of the cauliflower. 

15. Continue adding layers, adding the mushrooms, garlic, leeks and shallots. 

16. Scoop the mashed potatoes on top to form a covering layer. 

17. Bake for 20- 30 minutes. 

18. Serve and enjoy a warmth of flavour!
