Ingredients
  • 1 kg red skin potatoes
  • 100 g soy granules
  • 1 kg button mushrooms
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 1 bunch of dill, chopped
  • 1 bunch of parsley, chopped
  • 2 eggs ( or egg substitutes for vegans, you can also add 3-4 tbsp dry yeast flakes)
  • sea salt, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tbsp dry thyme
  • 2 tbsp unrefined sunflower oil
Directions
  1. Peel the potatoes and put them in a large pot filled with water. Boil them until they're tender. Mash them and let them cool for a while.
  5. Chop the mushrooms, carrot and red bell pepper. Add them into your food processor and pulse until all ingredients are well mixed together.
  9. Heat 2 tbsp of sunflower oil in a large skillet. Add the mixture above, diced onions, chopped dill and parsley, soy granules, eggs ( or egg substitutes + dry yeast flakes) and spices. Sauté for 10 minutes.
  13. * I added the soy granules without boiling them because the mushrooms contain a lot of water and these soy granules will absorb all excess water.
  17. Put some parchment paper on the bottom of a casserole. Divide the mashed potatoes in two. Place the first half in the casserole and spread it with a spatula. Add the filling. Place over the other half of mashed potatoes.
  21. Heat your oven at 392˚. Put the casserole in the oven. Cook for 40 minutes.
  25. Don't serve immediately. Let it cool for at least half an hour.
