SHEPHERD'S PIE NUTRITION LOADED VEGAN, LOW CARB & LOW FAT



Shepherd's Pie Nutrition Loaded Vegan, Low Carb & Low Fat image

Oh how I do love Shepherd's pie. But the traditional recipe is loaded with FAT and CARBS and CALORIES :-( This recipe is not only eliminated the carbs, fat and A LOT of the calories..... but that bad stuff has been replaced by the nutrient dense potato subtitute of "Cauliflower & Broccoli Puree" or "Mashed Cauliflower & Broccoli" which is just mashing up Cauliflower & Broccoli and some roasted garlic for extra heart-healthy benefits AND tasty flavor. Yes, I know it's not the "100% traditional recipe" but again I ask.... is 5 minutes of pleasure worth suffering the rest of your life over? If not, give this a try. I've had hard-core meat lovers and health-haters tell me it's fantastic..... then I tell them how I made it and they're so shocked that something so healthy tastes like it should be bad for them. Use this with "Lightlife" veggie crumbs and this will be 100% FAT FREE and even lower in calories than what is posted here.

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (50 g) packet Knorr Shepherds Pie Mealmaker Mix (I use the Coleman's Brand, but when submitting this recipe, it wouldn't accept "Coleman's Shepherds )
2 cups frozen peas and carrots
2 cups mashed broccoli and cauliflower (see my recipe for this, or make your own, this will add a mega dose of Vitamins A,C & E)
1 (12 ounce) veggie crumbles (I use "Lightlife" which has 0 grams of fat and 14 grams of protein)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Take the veggie crumbles into a pan. Add the Coleman's mix (this is basically the gravy that makes this pie famous) and enough water until the gravy is just a little bit watery, but still on the "thick" side. (remember, the moisture from the frozen peas and carrots will dilute and add to the water content, so you want to keep that gravy only a little watery).
  • Add frozen peas & carrots and mix everything together until heated. About 5 minutes.
  • Pour everything into an oven backing dish and cover with cauliflower and broccoli puree instead of using mashed potatos. (This will add A LOT of vitamins and nutrients instead of using potatos which would spike your blood sugar).
  • Place into the oven and bake for about 25 minutes.
  • Let the pie set for about 5 minutes before cutting it up and serving.
  • Enjoy without guilt!

I got this recipe from the About.com Low Fat Blog and modified it a little bit. My boyfriend, who studied for a year abroad in England, said that his English roommates would be proud! For a twist and some more color, try it with sweet potatoes!

Low Carb & Low Fat Shepherd's Pie image

Love Shepherd's pie - but watchin' those carbs and fat content? WHO ISN'T!? Well, this should suffice. Yes, I know it's not as rich as the Full Fat/Full Carb version, but IT IS really, really, delish AND you don't have to feel sooooooo guilty and starve yourself the next day to make up for having this.

Time 35m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 onion, chopped
1 lb lean ground turkey
1 (37 g) packet Knorr Shepherds Pie Mealmaker Mix
1 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon ketchup
8 ounces frozen peas and carrots
my recipe for low carb mashed potatoes

Steps:

  • Fry the onions in a little oil until golden and fry until soft.
  • Add ground turkey and cook until browned.
  • Mix contents of the packet with water and add to the pan.
  • Bring to boil and simmer, covered for 10 minutes.
  • Add ketchup and frozen veggies and transfter to everything to an overnproof dish/casserole.
  • Cover with mashed "potato"s (which is really mashed califlower) make it as thin or thick as you want and cook in the over for 25-30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: Cook the lentil mixture and mashed cauliflower separately up to 3 days in advance.
  • Use Frozen Vegetables: Frozen peas, carrots, and corn are just as nutritious as fresh and readily available. Simply steam or microwave them according to package instructions.
  • Spice It Up: Add a pinch of chili powder, cumin, or smoked paprika to the lentil mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Make It Creamy: Stir in a spoonful of vegan sour cream or yogurt into the mashed cauliflower for a richer, creamier texture.
  • Top It Off: Before baking, sprinkle a layer of bread crumbs, crushed crackers, or chopped nuts over the shepherd's pie mixture for a crispy topping.

Conclusion:

This vegan shepherd's pie is a nutritious and satisfying meal that's packed with wholesome ingredients like lentils, vegetables, and cauliflower. It's a great way to enjoy a classic comfort food without the meat, and it's sure to please vegans and non-vegans alike. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to savor this delicious and healthy dish. Happy cooking!
