Shepherd's pie (vegetarian)
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Classic shepherd's pie features a tender and juicy meat filling topped with a thick layer of mashed potatoes, which turns golden when baked. Today I am sharing a recipe. The finished dish can be served at the table.

Step 1
Prepare all the necessary ingredients. The ingredient list for a vegetarian shepherd's pie is not limited—you can also add other vegetables you like (for example, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.). Boil the peeled potatoes in advance, add a little milk, and mash them with a potato masher into a puree.

Step 2
Finely chop the garlic and add it to the heated oil. As soon as the garlic begins to release its aroma, add the finely chopped onion. Cook for about 1 minute, just until the onion starts (only starts) to soften.
