Martha Stewart just saved our butts yet again with a delicious, hearty recipe that redefines how we see comfort food. And while we’re prepping to eat this for the holidays, we can hardly wait!
Stewart uploaded a mouth-watering snapshot of a vegetarian meal that we know everyone will want seconds of this holiday season. She posted the photo with the caption, “Our vegetarian shepherd’s pie is a take on the traditional British potato-topped dish and the ultimate cozy, plant-based meal. You might be wondering how a meat-based recipe can become vegetarian? It’s easy. Lentils give the filling heft and cremini mushrooms provide a nice umami flavor. It’s comforting, hearty, and delicious. Grab the recipe at the link in our bio. 📷: @kate_mathis”
We know, our mouths can’t stop watering. So for the beginner-friendly dish, you do need quite a few ingredients like extra-virgin olive oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, cremini mushrooms, green lentils, Yukon Gold potatoes, and peas, to name a few.
For a buffet-ready meal like this one, just be ready to stack up when it’s with the ingredients. But no worries, because this only takes a few steps (and less than three hours to cook and prep!)
You start by heating the oil in a medium pot, along with adding a bunch of the healthy ingredients. It’s a lot of adding and stirring, which can be a great activity to bring the whole family on. Within no time, you’ll be dolloping it with mashed potatoes in a way that’d make Gordon Ramsey proud.
