A lighter version of traditional British shepherd’s pie using sweet potatoes and cauliflower, the perfect blend of sweet and savory.
Ingredients
Topping
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Sweet Potato Cauliflower Layer
- 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
- ½ pound cauliflower florets, chopped
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Ground Beef Layer
- 2 tablespoons light olive oil
- 2 carrots, diced
- ½ onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef
- 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup peas
- ½ cup corn
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Place sweet potatoes in a pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes. Add cauliflower and more water if needed; cook until all vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes more. Drain. Mash sweet potatoes and cauliflower with 1/4 cup broth, butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrots and onion; saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; cook 5 minutes more. Add beef; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 4
Sprinkle tapioca starch over the beef mixture in the skillet. Add 1 cup broth, peas, corn, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Spread beef mixture evenly in a baking dish. Top with mashed sweet potato mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until slightly browned on top, about 25 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
Cook’s Notes:
If you are not avoiding gluten, you can use flour in place of the tapioca starch.
