I have had this idea knocking about in my mind for a while but just not got around to it.

And since I was already going to make the filling for my vegetarian shepherds pie which makes up a part of the recipe, I decided today was the day.

I had some chestnuts to used up and so I added them to the filling. They give it a lovely earthy sweetness.

When I turned it out of the chefs ring, the boy liked the look of it so much he wanted to eat it right away! A good start!

Whilst it cooled, I put together the shepherds pie for tomorrow, and then we both tucked in to the vegetable stack.

It was so good! And so easy to modify too depending on what you might have in your fridge…
