vegetarian shepherds pie?

January 21st, 2009 at 07:50 pm

I know this is a bit of a change in posting as all my recent ones have been about houses, but I wanted to share this recipe with anyone that wants it because it turned out *delicious*. I kind of made it up as I went along because I was making enchiladas and found out I only had 2 tortilla wraps in the fridge instead of 4 like I thought.

Ingredients:
2 tortilla wraps
1 can kidney beans
1 onion, diced
1 carrot, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tblsp olive oil
700ml tomato passata
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp each of turmeric, paprika & ceyenne pepper
1 medium sweet potato, diced and steamed
1 cup grated cheese

Heat oil in a frypan and gently fry onion & garlic. Add all spices and stir. Add the kidney beans and carrots and fry for 3 minutes. Add the passata and bring to boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Layer a third of the bean mix, a tortilla, another third of the mix, a tortilla, and the remaining bean mix.
Arrange the sweet potato on top and sprinkle with the cheese, and bake at 200*c for 20 minutes covered with foil. After 20 minutes take the foil off and bake for another 5-10 minutes until golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes and then serve with a green salad.

The recipe serves probably 4 or 5.

Anyway it's probably a bit unusual but it turned out really yummy. I guess it is a bit like a vegetarian shepherds pie... but not...

    Oooh. This sounds really good. I may just have to try it. Smile
    What is tomato passata? Is that like paste?

    it's just crushed strained tomatoes, it doesnt have any flavours or anything in it, only salt. you could use diced tinned tomatoes in place of passata if you couldnt find it at your supermarket - but use two cans because a jar of passata is 800ml and a can of tinned tomatoes is 400ml Smile
