Shepherds’ Pie is a traditional cool weather meal of stew topped with mashed potatoes. You can enjoy a variety of flavors, vitamins and minerals (including anti-oxidant-rich vitamins A and C, and potassium) with the help of rainbow nutrition. Substitute mashed white potatoes with protein and fiber-rich autumn root vegetables. The roots have an earthy sweetness and tang that taste like autumn.
Trader Joe’s Fresh Harvest Medley, a combination of yams, squash and turnips, makes the root vegetable preparation easy! Add can your own additional roots, or keep it simple. You can’t beat the ease and ideal nutrition of an HMR Entrée with additional veggies! It’s so easy to stay healthy!
Ingredients

2 cups potatoes, yams, turnips, carrots, parsnips, rutabaga, peeled and cubed
¼ cup buttermilk*
2 teaspoons reduced calorie margarine
Salt, pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chives or parsley, chopped (optional)
* Note: Buttermilk helps to thicken the vegetable mash but low-fat milk will work as well.
Preparation
Place all root vegetable cubes in bowl with ¼ cup of water. Cover and microwave until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and add buttermilk, margarine, and seasonings. Mash with a whisk or pulse mixture in a food processor until smooth. Stir in herbs. Loosely cover HMR Vegetable Stew with Beef Entrée and microwave for 1 minute. Spoon the hot entrée onto a plate.
