Shepherd’s Pie Recipe ~ vegan
This is such a delicious, simple dish which is perfect to serve if you are hosting, or a great meal prep option which you can eat over a couple of days or even freeze! The beauty of it is that you can really use whatever ingredients you have on hand for the “mince” filling – so feel free to substitute any vegetables I used for other things. I will say that carrots, mushrooms and onions form a delicious base. As for the “meaty” substitute, opt for either of the following: brown/green lentils, black beans, TVP, soya mince, tempeh mince or a mixture of either.

Smokey black beans
Hello! My old toaster had broken down, and after a period of being a sad toaster-less person, I had built up quite the craving for some nice beans on toast. So, I whipped together these smokey black beans – loosely inspired by the BBQ beans recipe in the BOSH! cookbook 😀 How lush doesn’t it look? Black beans are one of my favourite beans, due to taste and texture. The toast would’ve been lovely plain as above, but I went one step further and added hot sauce (Sriracha) on one, and a tahini drizzle on the other. Nooch – aka vegan magic gold dust – had to go on both,…
