Zesty Shepherds Pie With A Kick Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1/2 a zucchini, sliced and chopped
• 1 small can of corn
• 2 large cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chopped spinach
• 3/4 cup mushrooms, chopped
• 3/4 cup diced carrots
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 2 tablespoon oil (I used olive)
• 1 can kidney or pinto beans
• 2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce/tamari
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1/2 teaspoon each: black pepper, paprika, basil
• 1.5 tablespoon horseradish
• 4 servings of mashed potatoes

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Saute onions, garlic, celery and carrots for a few minutes, then add the rest of the veggies. Add all the spices, soy sauce/tamari, horseradish and saute for another 5-10 minutes or so (until carrots are tender). Drain the beans and add to the veggie mix.
Prepare your mashed potatoes in a separate saucepan.
Pour veggie mix into a greased casserole dish and cover with mashed potatoes. I like to spread the mashed potatoes on with a fork, then sprinkle the top with paprika. Bake, uncovered, in oven for 15-20 or until potatoes turn a nice, golden color.
