Vegan Shepherd’s Pie

I’m thrilled to be contributing my Vegan Shepherd’s Pie recipe to Eating Rules‘ “October: Unprocessed“. Blogger and healthy eating advocate Andrew Wilder has asked people to take a pledge to eat no processed foods during the month of October, and hundreds of people have jumped on board. For my October: Unprocessed guest post, I wanted to feature comfort food, and Shepherd’s Pie fits the bill. This is a recipe I perfected over years, made with mushrooms, seitan, lots of vegetables and walnuts with a rich wine-infused gravy, topped by mashed potatoes. What more could you want in a comfort food?

You can see my Shepherd’s Pie above, but for the recipe just click on over to Eating Rules. And while you’re there, sign the pledge and go Unprocessed for the rest of the month – or every month. I’ve found it really interesting to start thinking in detail about how the food you’re eating is made. When you break down every ingredient and where it comes from, you’ll be surprised by what you find. And it will make you enjoy eating natural, wholesome foods even more.
