Vegetarian shepherd's pie

Ingredients

• Traditionally Shepherd?s pie is a meat pie with a crust of mashed potatoes. It is made either with lamb or beef. I have made it a little differently (keeping all my vegetarian friends in mind) as I substituted the lamb with soya granules to retain the authentic flavor. I also added a layer of macaroni to make the dish more wholesome. It?s a complete meal in itself!
