Vegan Shepherd’s Pie

Vegan Shepherd’s Pie – Well, as many of you know, I like to go to restaurants, have a nice meal, and then try to recreate what I ate, especially if it was memorable.

Well, recently I had just such an experience. I was up at our lake house in Leland, MI, and had dinner with my wife Ellen, my son Carlo and his girlfriend Mary at a great restaurant called Martha’s Table. Martha’s Table is located in Suttons Bay, MI, about 10-15 minutes from our cottage.

The menu is really good, but one entre caught my eye – VEGAN SHEPHERDS PIE* with Onions, Mushrooms, Celery, Carrots, Parsnips, Peas, and Cannellini Beans in a Dijon Wine Broth and Topped with Truffle Garlic Mashed Potatoes.

Once I got past the “VEGAN” part of the dish, there wasn’t one thing I didn’t love in the description. So, I ordered it and loved it. Piping hot, crusty mashed potato topping and a fantastic-tasting stew underneath.

I knew after eating it, that this Vegan Shepherd’s Pie would be one of my next video recipe re-creations. I called the chef, Matt, (who is Martha’s son) and he was kind enough to walk me through the recipe. It was not very difficult and I did make a few tweaks to the recipe. For instance, I’m not sure anyone watching this video needs to have truffles with their mashed potatoes.

But for the rest of it, I tried to stay true to Chef Matt’s instructions. So today, we are making a Vegan Shepard’s Pie, from Martha’s Table in Sutton Bay MI.
