Hey everyone! So if you follow me on snapchat you’ll notice I have a surplus of swisschards and all I’ve been doing is finding new recipes to hide them in . So if you want to be a witness to my hilarious ways of hiding this earthy green follow me at LettuceLiv on snapchat. Today, I decided to hide some Swisschard in Vegan Shepherd’s Pie!

The other day, I got home from work super excited! I had this idea of making a vegan shepherd’s pie…only 10 minutes home my house and neighborhood lost electricity. Apparently the firemen turned the power off because we had a really bad rainstorm and it screwed up some of the power lines…so I ate dinner at my in laws, then on Tuesday more then ever I was dying to make it! I haven’t had Sheppard pie since I went vegetarian over 2 years ago….now that I’m vegan I guess I feel the need to challenge recipes and VEGANIZE them . It was a huge success with my husband! My poor husband has been my taste tester on a lot of failed recipes. LettuceLiv for the win! I can gladly say I succeeded it tasted pretty darn delicious.

Vegan Amino’s

I actually posted this recipe on Tuesday on this app I have called Amino’s. I posted it in the Vegan Community app and its just so awesome. If your vegan and need a collaborative community to share your thoughts, recipes and daily struggles! Go and download the Vegan amino app its just a great little place to hang out with other like minded people. I’ve actually been posting a lot of my recipes there. Finally, I will force myself to post regularly here so that the recipes will be readily available to everyone!

The Recipe

I will be making this again and again! For the “meat” I used Gardein’s beefless ground, I sautéed it in onions and black pepper, for the corn I actually used lentils and tri-coloured carrots which was cooked in tumeric ( made it extra yellow) then I Julianne about 2 cups of Swiss chard and I made mashed cauliflower and potatoes with some vegenaise, I layered them out nicely and put it in the oven for 10 minutes.

I hope you enjoy this recipe, the recipe card is below! If you like it please share this with your family and friend’s.

To assemble stack layer on layer until you have all the layers on. starting with the beefless ground, the lentils, swiss chards and finally the potato-cauliflower mash. Take a fork and make a line across the potatoes until you cover he entire surface (you will have a pattern in the end) Put in the oven for about 5 minutes( if you have it on broil stand guard and keep checking to make sure you don't burn it.). serve and enjoy 🙂
