- For the topping
- 4 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- salt
- pepper
- For the pie
- 1 cup bulgur (see note in description if you prefer a meat-lovers shepherd pie)
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 onions, chopped
- 4 -5 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 4 -5 parsnips, peeled and sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons rosemary (or 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (or 8 ounce regular mushrooms, quartered)
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 1 cup swiss cheese (optional)
Method
- To make the topping: in a pot of boiling water, cook sweet potatoes until tender (20-30 minutes). Drain; mash potatoes, stir in butter and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- To make the pie: in a bowl combine bulgur and boiling water; set aside for 20 minutes or until water is absorbed. Set aside.
- Over medium heat, heat oil in a skillet for 30 seconds or so.
- Add vegetables (onions - parsnips) and cook, stirring until vegetables are softened (6-10 minutes).
- Stir in garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper, continuing to cook stirring for another minute or so.
- Stir in mushrooms, tossing to coat.
- Stir in flour and cook stirring for another minute or so.
- Stir in broth and tomato paste. Bring mixture to a boil and then transfer to slow cooker.
- Add bulgur and stir in well.
- Spread sweet potato topping over mixture.
- Place a tea towel folded in half over top of stoneware to absorb excess moisture. (I used a paper towel but a tea towel would probably work so much better.).
- Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on High for 3-4 hours or until vegetables are tender.
- Sprinkle with Swiss cheese if using, and cover and cook on high for another 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
