Good old Shepherd’s Pie.
It’s one of those go to staple meals not only in Ireland but across the world. Shepherd’s Pie is a long-standing family favourite because it’s easy to make and serves an entire family in one go.
Of course, we also associate Shepherd’s Pie with mincemeat and a mashed potato crust but this vegan alternative is well worth a try.
It’s wholesome and tasty and credit where credit is due, this vegan pie recipe also hits a home run with warmth and flavour.
