Author Notes
I noticed Shepherd’s Pie on a menu one blustery night at a cozy neighborhood restaurant and wished there was a dish as warm and satisfying I could enjoy. Brandade is a good substitute for Shepard’s Pie as far as I’m concerned but clearly prepping and dealing with salt cod aint no recipe for survival in my book.
Contemplating Mother Nature and the impending coldest week in years about to bare down on us and long days ahead stuck in our cribs, thoughts of recipes 4 survival to share were running rampant in my mind.
My ultimate vision is a baked loaf of a layer of fluffy scrambled eggs, onions & rice, a layer of fava bean puree & asparagus tips, topped with a layer of pomme puree dusted with paprika & a sprinkle of scallions.
What I created was close to my vision described above except I used edamame which are a staple item for me rather than the fava bean puree.
Here’s what I did and the ingredients used: —FoodD
