Tips and Comments
- This variation on a Shepherd's Pie also takes a Mediterranean twist but can be easily amended for a more traditional version, substituting the sweet for regular potato and swapping the aubergine and courgette for peas and carrots.
- The miso paste adds flavour but is also a great way of adding 'healthy' bacteria to your diet from the fermented soya!
- Can also be served with hot vegetables or fresh crusty bread.
