Friday Four – London Style Shepards Pie – 010821

Indian food is the cuisine of choice for many Londoners. This Shepard’s pie takes Indian and British cuisine and “mashes” them together to create a wonderful dish. We are taking a non-traditional twist with using mushrooms for the filling instead of meat AND we mash an assortment of root veggies instead of just potatoes because Root Veggies are Power Foods!
