GREEK-STYLE SHEPHERD'S PIE W/BRIAM
Shepherd's pie is classic comfort food. What's not to love about the layer of veggies, meat sauce, and luscious mashed potatoes? SO delicious! I added a Greek twist by swapping out the classic carrots, peas, and corn (actually, I kept the corn) with Briam, Greek Ratatouille. I also added some feta cheese and we fell in love with this dish. Gone in minutes! Follow my easy tutorial and I highly recommend that you make a double batch for the freezer.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 °F, 220 °C.
- Make the Mashed Potatoes:
- Place potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Season with 1-2 teaspoons of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until fork-tender. Drain the water and mash the potatoes.
- Add the butter and mash until it is absorbed. Then slowly add the milk. Mix until smooth.
- Season with salt and black pepper.
- Note: You can make the mashed potatoes 2 ways: add just enough milk until they are at the consistency that you like. Or, add all of the milk and then cook the mixture over medium heat until thickened (bechamel sauce texture). It's up to you.
- Add the parmesan cheese and mix it all together then, set it aside.
- Make the meat filling:
- Cook the onions with the olive oil over medium heat until soft and golden. About 8 minutes. Add the garlic and warm through about 20 seconds.
- Add the ground meat and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Pat the eggplant pieces dry and add to the meat.
- Add the seasonings and the pureed tomatoes. Cook over medium heat until the eggplant is soft and mushy, and the sauce is thick. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with parsley and set aside.
- Make the Vegetable (Briam) Layer:
- Cook the onions with olive oil over medium heat until soft. About 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, bell peppers, and zucchini.
- Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 more minutes.
- Add the tomato puree and cook until the vegetables are soft, and the sauce thickens.
- Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add sugar if the sauce is too acidic.
- Assemble the Shepherd's Pie:
- Place the Briam (vegetable) layer in the bottom of a 9 by 13 by a 3-inch baking pan. Add some corn, if desired. Crumble some feta cheese on top.
- Spread the meat sauce over the vegetables and feta cheese.
- Top with the mashed potatoes and spread.
- Bake on the center rack of your preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden.
- You may turn the broiler element on for 4-5 minutes. Keep a close eye on it so that it does not burn.
- Set aside and allow it to set for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve!

Steps:
- Make the mashed potatoes: Peel the potatoes. Boil them until fork tender (you want them to mash easily). Drain, mash, and mix in yogurt and butter. Season to taste. (You can also use the Instant Pot method which is quick and easy! That's what I do.)
- In a large oven-safe pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until fragrant. Add mushrooms, carrots, and whole herbs (you will pull the herbs out later). Sauté until carrots are softened.
- Add tomato paste and flour to the pot and stir. Pour in the red wine (sizzzzle) and scrape all the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Let the wine cook out for a minute or two. Slowly add the broth, stirring it in until a gravy starts to form. Season with salt. Simmer over low heat to get it thickened even further.
- Remove the herbs. Stir in the peas, spread the mashed potatoes on top (brush with butter to be extra awesome), and bake for 15 minutes at 350. I finished mine on the broil setting for a few minutes to get it nice and brown on top.
- Scoop up a hearty serving and live your best cozy life.

GREEK FAMILY STYLE SHEPHERD'S PIE
A well traveled family friend gave us this recipe and we have always loved making this comfort food. A small fresh salad and fresh fruit in season usually goes with the pie. You could also use ground chicken or turkey instead of beef. If you are unable to find tomato sauce with roasted pepper just use 24 oz tomato sauce and 1/2 cup chopped marinated sweet red pepper.

VEGAN SHEPHERD'S PIE
Whether you are sticking to meatless Mondays or eat plant-based every day, this vegan version of shepherd's pie will satisfy any cravings for that warming winter classic. It looks just like the meat version and tastes just as good. We streamlined the process (including using frozen peas and carrots and baking the pie in the same skillet used to cook the vegetables) to make the dish as accessible and weeknight-friendly as possible. Note that although a food processor chops the mushrooms really fast, you can use a knife, if you prefer.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Combine the potatoes and garlic in a medium saucepan and cover with 2 inches of water. Season generously with salt and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water and then drain the potatoes. Return the potatoes and garlic to the saucepan and mash with a potato masher. Add 1/2 cup of the cooking water and the 1/3 cup olive oil and stir to combine. If needed, stir in more water until the potatoes are a spreadable consistency. Stir in the chives and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and set the mashed potatoes aside.
- Pulse the mushrooms in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat until shimmering. Add the mushrooms, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper and cook until all the moisture from the mushrooms has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomato paste is a bit darker, about 3 minutes. Stir in the broth, followed by the peas and carrots and bring to a simmer, about 4 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, dollop all over with the mashed potatoes and spread the potatoes into an even layer with the back of a spoon or a spatula. Bake until golden on top and bubbling around the edges, about 25 minutes.
