Quorn Vegetarian Cottage Pie

Peter

Great recipe, as long as you take out the parsnips. Parsnip dislikers unite! Swede is a good substitute

Sally Thorley

Such a delicious recipe, that if I try to vary my once-weekly meal for daughter’s family they plead for this cottage pie. Even though it works out at around half the price. Win/win. The parsnips-in-mash are a trade secret. And I hide some celery in there, and generally serve with fresh, steamed cauliflower.

Great recipe. Never thought of adding parsnip to the mash but it’s such a great addition. Made this 4-5 times now and adjusted the recipe a bit each time. I now add 2 sticks of chopped celery in with the onions/carrot. I fry the Quorn at step 4 before adding the other ingredients to brown the edges a bit. I use about 230g of Quorn instead, but also add 80g (when dry) French green lentils (boil separately for 15-20 mins to soften) and 70g red lentils to further bulk out the mince (throw straight in when adding the stock along with the pre cooked, drained green). It adds a bit more consistency/thickness so no need for cornflour and the green lentils add a bit of crunch. Also gets me 2 more portions out of it. I don’t have Worcestershire sauce so to add a bit more flavour I use a level teaspoon of vegetarian beef gravy mix. Bit of butter in the mash too and extra milk. Overall great recipe, just added a few extra things to elevate it further. My partner isn’t vegetarian and isn’t a fan of meat replacements but absolutely loves this cottage pie! So much so the ones I freeze don’t stay in the freezer long!

Bunny Thorley

Grandchildren’s absolute favourite. Great blend of flavourings. Can hide a few extra veggies in with the mince for little ones. The parsnip-potato-topping is just delicious.

It's a pouring, cold day here in the UK. I made this and it was yummy. Very nice on a cold rainy day

Stacey

This is lovely .. added a tin of lentils and used the slow cooker for the mince then added mash and cheese when I got home. Everyone loved it

I didn't have Mince so I chopped Quorn chunks up. I used fresh vegetables and a few additional vegetables I had in the fridge (all finely chopped). Added some red lentils too (on the top of the veg mixture so they didn't stick). I put a Cartouche of greaseproof paper over the mix which 'sweated' the veg and gave it more depth as cooked in its own flavours. Although the mixture was a little paler in colour, than if using Quorn Mince, it didn't matter as tasted lovely. A little grated cheese on the topping added to the flavours. I will definitely be making again... with Quorn Mince next time!!

Susan

A real showstopper, my family loved it. The sauce was delicious and we all love Quorn mince this will certainly be a regular favourite especially on cold Winter days, delicious with Calabrese and more carrots.

For years I felt I was missing out, I could never find or make a tasty veggie cottage pie until now! I absolutely love it and it's a regular dinner in my house!

Teaching my son to cook before uni starts. Clear, simple, cheap and delicious recipe.

Polly

My favourite mid-week recipe!

Louise H

Not a vegetarian, but like to incorporate meat free meals into diet. I added some celery that needed using and changed out the parsnips for sweet potato as that is, what I had available! Very tasty meal, would recommend to try and will definitely nske again!

Kelly Swann

I decided to cook this today because I had a few carrots going soft and wanted to use them up. I'm pleased that I had some Quorn mince in my freezer to use. I didn't put any Worcester sauce which didn't seem to matter as it was absolutely delicious and I would definitely make it again. !!

Lauren

Add a bit of garlic, a few herbs and some grated cheese on the top! Lovely!

Ruth

Lovely

Anne

Used HP sauce instead of Worcestershire and added a couple of mushrooms. So tasty. Never had mash with mashed parsnips it kept the mixture together added a knob of butter too and some parsley onto top to garnish. Yummy! I have another 3 days of dinner now as enough for 4.

Jena

We love this recipe! I use all potatoes for the topping (as I live in the US & parsnips aren't readily available) & also add 3 cloves of minced garlic to the softened onions. I add grated tasty cheddar to the top.

Henry

Easy to make and absolutely delicious

Marilyn

I added 3 cloves of garlic to the onions. It is a really nice recipe.

Richard

Second time I've followed this recipe , personally I omitted the milk , parsnips and salt . I did though add a clove of minced garlic . Used slightly reduced portions too as it was only for me .. A very good recipe for me . I've cooled mine too and put in in the fridge ready for my evening meal . Adapting it to your own taste is the key !

Really good, simple recipe. If you struggle to get hold of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, a heaped teaspoon of Marmite is a great substitute.
