Here is my own twist to the original recipe of this classic. I wanted to find a way to make it a complete meal. Instead of using potatoes, I decided to use sweet potatoes (yams). It gives it a light consistency and adds nice color once all of the other ingredients are combined together.
Shepherd`s Pie Recipe
Ingredients
2 lbs organic ground beef
1 tsp organic coconut oil
1 cup organic carrots (peeled,cut into pieces)
2 garlic cloves, (minced)
1/2 cup each of yellow, red and orange peppers (slices)
1/2 cup mushrooms, (slices)
10 sweet potatoes, (peeled and cut into pieces)
2 tbsps of organic vegetable broth
sea salt and pepper to taste
Directions
1. Place the ground beef in a cast iron skillet.Cook until browned.
2. Place cooked ground beef in the bottom of a lasagna baking dish.
3. Meanwhile, place the cut up pieces of sweet potatoes in a steamer.
4. Steam between 6-9 minutes(check with fork for tenderness).
5. Once they are tender,mash with a little touch of sea salt and
pepper and a little bit of organic vegetable broth.
6. Melt the organic coconut oil in a skillet and add the carrots,garlic,
peppers and mushrooms.
7. Cook until vegetables are tender.
8. Place the vegetables on top of the meat.
9. Top it off with the sweet potatoes.
Voilà!! Try it you might like it....I`m sure that you will.
If you want to do this recipe meatless (which is how I do it) you can add some hummus or cashews on top of it before serving.
It makes it a complete meal with great natural protein.
Enjoy!!!
