Shepherd's Pie?

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

Answer 6

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.
