Recipe
To make mashed potatoes, cut washed & scrubbed potatoes into 1" cubes, and steam for 15-20 minutes until tender. Mash potatoes, and add salt & pepper to taste. Set aside.
To make tofu hash, warm olive oil in large saut� pan. Add chopped onions and garlic, and heat until onions are translucent. Mash tofu and add to saut� pan. Continue cooking on medium-high heat for 4 or 5 minutes. Add
peas, basil & oregano. If using fresh mushrooms, you may wish to saut� fresh mushrooms separately until water has evaporated. Then add saut�ed mushrooms to tofu-onion mixture. If using canned mushrooms, add with peas. Continue saut�ing for one or two more minutes. Set aside.
To assemble shepherd's pie, lightly grease a 9" casserole dish. Spread tofu hash as the first layer; then, spread the tomato soup, and finally, the mashed potatoes.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 30 minutes.
