Portobello Shepherd's Pie
Description
Portobello Shepherd's Pie begins with a savory vegetable mixture sauteed in butter and olive oil. Large cubes of portobello mushrooms are cooked with diced onion, carrots, fresh parsley, thyme (or rosemary), and garlic. Tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce deepen the flavors while flour and vegetable broth thicken the sauce. Frozen peas and corn add sweetness and color to the filling.
The vegetable filling is poured into a casserole dish then topped evenly with garlic mashed potatoes blended with Parmesan cheese for extra flavor. The assembled pie is placed under a preheated broiler just until the potato topping develops a golden brown crust. This dish balances earthy mushrooms and fresh herbs with creamy potato topping and vibrant vegetables, making for a comforting entrée.
The pie can be garnished with additional fresh parsley before serving. It is suited for a satisfying vegetarian main course that can be portioned into multiple servings.
