Snuggle up and get ready for the ultimate vegetarian comfort food. This recipe allows you to either mash your own potatoes or use a premade mash. We prefer to mash our own in order to get the consistency we like, but either works well. After those veggies are tucked in with a nice cover of potatoes, we broil the top to give the dish a nice toasted look and taste. Throw a couple chopped chives on top and you’ve made an all-star vegetarian dish perfect for a cold, rainy night.

2) Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk together cornstarch with a few tbsp of the wine to dissolve. Stir the remaining wine, vegetable stock, tomato paste, and frozen peas into the cornstarch and wine slurry.

3) After the broil, remove vegetables from Suvie. Pour the broth and wine mixture over the roasted vegetables and spread into an even layer in the Suvie pan.

4) If using premade mashed potatoes, spread them on top of the vegetable filling. If preparing your own mashed potatoes, whisk together the cream, butter, garlic and 1 tsp salt in a second Suvie pan. Add the potatoes to the cream mixture and spread into an even layer. Insert both pans into your Suvie, input settings, and cook now or schedule.

Wine Pairing

We recommend serving this dish with a good quality Chardonnay. This French wine pairs well with vegetarian dishes and the medium acidity will cut through the creamy potatoes.

This sounds delicious! Are there substitutions for red wine and cornstarch?

Hi Sarah, you can substitute the wine with extra broth. The cornstarch is what thickens and holds the finished shepherd’s pie together, so it’s a bit trickier to substitute. You could try using potato starch, but the finished dish may be a bit runnier.
