This recipe uses a creamy Cauliflower Mash for the topping to make it low carb 😁

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat Oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Prepare vegetables as per ingredients instructions (pic doesn't show the Cauliflower once put in the food processor or the rice flour mixture)
- 2
Place 1tbs Olive oil in a pan, add the onion and saute for 5mins.
- 3
While the onion sautes, in the other pan, add the processed Cauliflower, 2 cups almond milk, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper to the other pan. Place lid on pan and leave to simmer covered (I didn't take any pics, sorry). This will cook down for approx 15 - 20mins cooking (or until softened)
- 4
Back to the filling pan, Add the other tbs olive oil and then leek and garlic and saute for a further 3 minutes. Then add the Mushrooms, carrot, celery, parsley, tomato paste, thyme, mixed herbs, paprika, 2 tsp salt & 1 tsp pepper and stir.
- 5
Add the lentils and 1 1/2 cups Water and stir. Bring to the boil, turn down to simmer for approx 10mins
- 6
Just before the filling is ready, add the rice flour water mixture and cook for a minute or so and place the filling mixture into the baking tray
- 7
For the topping, place the cooked down Cauliflower mixture in a Food processor (I used a Nutribullet), with the butter and 2tbs Parmesan and blitz until smooth.
- 8
Spread the Cauliflower Mash over the top of the filling, sprinkle the last tablespoon of Parmesan over the top and bake for 30mins.
- 9
Once finished, serve. You can leave in the oven for longer for a browner top. I was too hungry to wait and it was great anyway (although doesn't make for the prettiest of pics 😂)

Baked Shepherd's Pie Baked Shepherd's Pie
The meat juice is absorbed by the potatoes and it is delicious! My sons often request this. It is a variation of Shepherd's Pie simplified it in my own style, with ingredients readily available in my home.You can bake it in a cocotte when making for one person♪. Cook it in a toaster oven. It bakes in 10 minutes at a high temperature, but it tends to over- brown, so cover it with aluminum foil if it looks like it is going to burn. Recipe by Umakappe

Cheesy Shepherd's Pie Cheesy Shepherd's Pie
We've always loved traditional dishes from the British Isles. I guess it's just in my family's DNA. I followed the traditional shepherd's pie recipes I saw online, but then added a few extra touches to make it my own - and I can honestly say it's one of the best meals I've ever made... and I cook A LOT!

Mince shepherd's pie Mince shepherd's pie
This is a much simpler, straightforward version of shepherd's pie than the one featuring short ribs which I posted ages ago, and can be made in about half the time. Even so, it's still really delicious. During assembly, it may seem like there's a lot of mashed potato. I've been assured by our resident potato monarch (a.k.a. my wife, due to my Asian heritage and the fact that I grew up on rice) that the meat to mash ratio is correct.

Short rib shepherd's pie Short rib shepherd's pie
This is my take on shepherd's pie. Instead of mince, I prefer to use beef short ribs. It complicates the cook, but the end result is so much more decadent. To make things easier, the beef and mash can be made separately ahead of time, and everything assembled once you're ready to put it in the oven. -
Tex-Mex Shepherd's Pie Tex-Mex Shepherd's Pie
We had a craving for shepherd's pie, but also wanted to shake things up with it for some added pizzazz. This was the result. Although the recipe I'm sharing is including a few extra things that I will be doing next time, as I think they will improve it a little bit. We didn't do the thickening of the sauce, and only used 2 pkgs. of taco seasoning this go round, but still came out yummy, but gonna add a third pkg. to it next time and thicken the sauce a bit, as well as add more cheese and brown the top of the taters!!! 😆😆😆

Easy Traditional Irish Shepherd's Pie Easy Traditional Irish Shepherd's Pie
I have been using this recipe for years. It is very simple and has been passed down on my Irish side. This year, I was able to make it using actual ground lamb. There is the debate that if it does not have lamb, then it cannot be called Shepard's Pie. It is actually called Cottage Pie.As with the gravy vs sauce debate among Italian Americans, I could really care less. Make it however you like. I have used real potatoes and fresh peas & carrots. That is the best way to go, but when you are short on time this is perfectly fine. My wife used ground turkey and sweet potato once and it was delicious.Make this recipe your own. For mine, I usual cheat and use frozen peas & carrots and instant mashed potatoes. You can use what you have.Enjoy!
