As fall creeps into the Atlanta area, I get to start eating heavier foods without feeling gross about it. Comfort foods in the fall are a favorite of mine. I am fairly heavy handed in the kitchen and falls leave me open to go for bold flavors.
Last week I made a quick batch of seitan to use in a shepherd's pie. As a New Englander, shepherd's pie is a staple. Every crummy diner you hit along the coast of route 1 from Rhode Island to Maine is going to have a shepherd's pie on the menu.
It is a very comforting food for me, reminds me of Maine. In fact, my vegan version is better than any other version I can recall from my childhood. It is a nice rich, heavy dish that combines the sweet and the savory. Not to mention, it travels well for my work meals!
holy shit feed this to us please
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Shepherd's Pie is so popular in New England. I wish I would have paid more attention when we lived out East. I love all fall foods...that means stick to your ribs soups and stews...and chilis!
