Description
Shepherd’s Pie is a family favourite but for vegetarians, a Shepherdless Pie is equally as tasty. This is comfort food at its best, with Ballymaloe Relish providing a big hug of tasty, tomato-y richness. This recipe works perfectly with mashed potato or mashed sweet potato as a topping. We use Quorn mince as our base for this recipe, but a mixture of mashed sweet potatoes & lentils can also work well.
