recipe is hard to read. Odd flavor. Not appealing to look at. -
Delicious!!Very filling and not too complicated to make! -
I've just made it for dinner tonight, and was really nice...this recipe made me get the aduki beans that i've never heard of before. I reall enjoyed it and was quite fullfilling and well, i add a few vegetables more: zucchini, mushrooms & celery, to be fried with the other ingredients and when it was in the skillet, i put a layer of corn out of a can and then the mashed potatoes. Thanks a lot for this recipe is already in my favorites :) -
when i was in the hospital the only meal i would eat was the veggie shepperds pie... i made this in hopes that it would be the same, or at least close,a nd it wasnt, so i wa dissappointed. i made it EXACTLY to the recipe and i found it to be bland, and texturally not right. maybe my expectations were just too high? -
I soaked the beans for approx 12 hours changing water occasionally (means less gas!)I omitted the rice but added a tin of chunky chopped tomatoes, didn't have any tomato paste so used tomato sauce to personal taste and two tablespoons of balsamic red wine vinigar. Wow, my husband who is a trad' chips/bacon/sausage man who rarely tries and likes anything new liked it better than ordinary sheperd's pie. Also brilliant with rice instead of potatoes. Great recipe, Thanks
