6 - 7 Medium russet potatoes, cut in thirds
Almond milk, regular milk or cream

3 Large carrots, sliced on the diagonal
1/2 Small head of cauliflower (cut into small florets)
1 Small head of broccoli (cut into small florets)
1 C frozen peas
Splash olive oil
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste (if tolerated)

Mushroom gravy (see recipe in sauce section)

Boil russet potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and mash with either almond milk, regular milk or cream. Don't add too much liquid - soupy mashed potatoes won't work well with this recipe.

Stir fry carrots, cauliflower and broccoli in large pan until crisp tender. Add frozen peas, continue to heat until peas are hot. Season with a little salt and pepper.

Add all the mushrooms and enough mushroom gravy to coat the stir fried vegetables. Spoon them into a greased casserole dish. Top with mashed potatoes and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Serve topped with remaining mushroom gravy.

That also looks great! Do you have a recipe for a regular Shepard's pie that doesn't use tomatoes in some form?

No I don't. Sorry. I'm just barely figuring out how to make anything without tomatoes. My IC friendly recipe box is pretty limited.

Yum...what time is dinner? This sounds great, Pam. I love Shepherd's Pie so have been looking for a vegan version.
Hmmm...I don't see tomatoes listed? In the gravy maybe? I'll look it up.

There are no tomatoes Bri. Much as I miss them, I don't dare go there anymore. Next time I make this I plan on adding some beans to the veggie mixture for a little protein.

oh ok, I think I misunderstood Julie's question! She meant a non-vegetarian no tomato pie. ;)

My friends mom is French and they make it the traditional old fashioned way. I think it is the original way before it was jazzed up with lots of flavors and gravies


She just put one layer of cooked ground beef, then a layer of corn or creamed corn and top with mashed potatoes. I think she just used salt and pepper.Then heat until warmed through. Now this is one ic friendly meal...nothing bad at all. She was a women who cooked simple yet wholesome filling meals. This was that families comfort food.

You just brought back a childhood memory. I was 12 years old when I met this friend and we still talk
