Recipe is created for
TM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation
Mill cashews and walnuts 10sec / speed 8. scrape bowl if necesary so that the milled nuts are loose in the bowl and not sticking to it.
Add garlic and chop 2 sec / speed 8
Add remaining veg and chop 5 sec / speed 6 (check the bowl, scrape and add another second or 2 if required)
Add all remaining ingredients except frozen peas and corn
cook 25min / 100°c / speed 2.5 "Counter-clockwise operation"
add the frozen veg and give it a quick stir through with the spatula.
Peel and chop the potatoes into large chunks before adding them to a pot of boiling water for 25 min. (if you want, you can cook them in the varoma at the same time as the base, just make sure you chop the pieces smaller - note: you will also get a little of the base flavouring your potatoes)
Mash the potatoes with the butter and milk
Pour the base into an oven dish, then carefully scoop little spoons of the mashed potato on top. (it's better a bit rough, not smooth)
sprinkle the herbs and cheese over the top and bake in the oven at 180°c for around 20 min

Tip
Make without the milk, cheese, and butter for a dairy free/vegan alternative, just spray a little olive oil on the top of the potatoes before you put it in the oven, or use vegan substitues.
the darker colour and "meaty" texture and taste is achived via a combination of the red wine, Worcestershire sauce, "beef" stock, mushrooms and nuts. The nuts also help to thicken the base. If you find that the veggies you used have made the base a bit too runny, after you pour the base into the oven dish, just give the bowl a quick rinse and dry, then mill some more nuts - then stir them into the dish. You could also add some cornflour in step 4, but I have never found this necessary.
I have used green lentils instead of red, they taste good, but need alot longer to cook (around double the time)

A very clever recipe. I did find that the veggies were too chopped up, so will reduce the time in that step. I also added soy sauce and tomato sauce as that's what I add to regular meat based Shepherd's Pie.
The Grumpy One had two helpings and still doesn't know that there was no meat in the dish!
Thank you.

This was so tasty and my meat eating boys really enjoyed it. My husband thought it was meat too. A win for me as im vegetarian and often have to make myself different food.
I made a mix of sweet potato and white potato mash and it warmed up well the next day too. I will definitely be making this more often.
Very tasty, enjoyed by all, thank you for sharing

I really enjoyed this! I left out the worcestershire sauce and still tasted amazing. I think next time i would use a little less water but apart from that it was perfect.

Sian: Hi Sian, Vegetarian and Vegan Worcestershire sauce is available in Coles (this is the one I use), as well as specialties stores. Alternatively you can make it yourself with: 6 tbsp apple cider vinegar 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce 1 tbsp brown sugar 2 tsp yellow mustard ¼ tsp onion powder ¼ tsp garlic powder ¼ tsp ground ginger ⅛ tsp cinnamon cayenne pepper cloves

This recipe isn't vegetarian as it contains Worcestershire sauce which has anchovies in it. Maybe rename it or give an alternative for Worcestershire sauce.

Yum! My husband had no idea it was vegetarian! 2 out of 3 kids ate it up too so I will be making it again. Although, the next day, it did taste much more “Vego” & we didn’t enjoy it as much (BUT I did use cabbage so I suspect it was that).

Delicious. This veggie base could be used to create vegetarian versions of other dishes like spaghetti bolognese to please the whole family.
Great dish....
Great dish.
Being a traditional meat eater moving toward a more vegetable diet, the hardest thing is finding dishes that not only taste good but are also substantial. This is a fantastic dish to start with that ticks both boxes - and it's easy to make.
This is now a regular on our table.
Thanks for a great recipe.
Loved this recipe, thank you!

Easy to follow, healthy and nutritious meal for all the family! I followed the recipe as is and it did not disappoint. The Worcestershire sauce added to the flavour. Even my meat loving eldest daughter enjoyed this which is a plus. Thanks for a great recipe

I made this last night and it is amazing! You would have no idea it's vegetarian. Big thumbs up from the husband, will try leftovers on the kids tonight. Thanks for an awesome recipe!

This was delicious! I didn't add nuts, Worcestershire sauce or wine (would have been very runny with it) or pepper. I like a chunky filling so added extra peas and corn and diced up two carrots (cooked them in the microwave then added to the mixture). I also used green lentils as I didn't have red and cooked it for 30 minutes and it was perfect. This will be a regular to our vegetarian menu.

Hi, I have yet to try this recipe but from the various posts it sounds like a winner!
I will be trying it without the Worcestershire Sauce though as this usually contains anchovies in it.
Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Very nice, thanks for sharing. I made quite a few changes and it still tasted yummy - pumpkin & sweet potato instead of potato, no milk or butter, forgot the peas & corn, vegie stock paste instead of beef, no Worcestershire sauce, black pepper instead of white and 70g apple cider vinegar & 30g red wine vinegar instead of red wine. Looking forward to trying it again when I have all the correct ingredients.
I like the idea and I hope I

Love this recipe - my family
Love this recipe - my family and I all agreed it was better than a traditional meat shepherds pie - thanks heaps for sharing - will definitely be making it again
This is my favourite
This is my favourite thermomix recipe. I know, it's a big call but this is seriously delicious and so nutritious. I have made it several times, my meat eating husband, brother and nephew all love it. I make this at least once a week. It always amazes me just how much veggies go in to it. I use sweet potato for the top and bake this in the oven before mashing it to put on top of the 'pie'. My husband adds extra cheese on to his serves. These are our only deviations from the menu. Great heated up the next day at work.
Well Thank you! Yum.. I will
Well Thank you! Yum.. I will be adding this to my easy go to list of recipes.. Loved how easy it was to make but so very tasty..
I think next time, I will make the mash first in thermomix and then this..
My 19 year old thinks he is very funny, he said 'Looks like something they'd serve in Orange is the New Black but surprisingly tasty' as he got his second serve.. I need to work on my plating skills!!!
We love this recipe, thanks.
We love this recipe, thanks. I didn't do it exactly the same, but it was basically the same method.
Because we don't mind lots of veg, I added a lot more than 150g of extra veg and I found veg stock paste form the BCB was fine to use. No red wine as didn't have any, but I didn't need any extra liquid either.
We had friends over and they were very impressed. Thanks again.
This will become a regular
This will become a regular for our 'meat free' Monday meal. Very taste!
We all loved it.Thanks for sharing
Delicious. Served this up to
Delicious. Served this up to my hubby without telling him it was vegetarian. He went back for seconds. I then told him. He said that it had a different taste, but loved it. This will become a regular for us.
WOW...meatless Shepherds Pie.
WOW...meatless Shepherds Pie. This has to be a winner. Great recipe. Thanks
The taste was great! Next
The taste was great! Next time I'll use 1/2 the water so the 'meat' is thicker. I made the mash potato first with the bcb chip and set aside.
This is a winner for my
This is a winner for my family. They didn't even realise it was vegetarian.
Very very nice. Will
Very very nice. Will definitely make again.
Fed it to my partner and asked him what he thought was in the 'meat' mixture.... "Mince and... " was the reply = win. Thank you! If you're used to a meaty Shepherds Pie you wouldn't think twice eating this if you didn't know.
I cooked the potatoes in the Varoma - chopped to potato salad sized pieces and didn't cook enough in the 25mins. Will just do on the stove next time.
Note to me - Made most of it in an oval pie dish + 2 individual ramekins - worked well both ways.
Thanks for the recipe
