Add the garlic, carrot, celery, mushrooms, herbs, soya sauce, a dash of
vegetarian worcester sauce (standard worcester sauce contains
anchovies), tomatoes, tomato purée, 200ml water, and freshly ground
black pepper.
Leave to simmer. Meanwhile, peel and boil the potatoes until soft, then
mash with a knob of soya marg and a splash of soya milk.
Put the mushroom mixture in an ovenproof dish, pile the mashed potato
on, put a dab of soya marg on top and cook in a moderate oven for around
45 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Serve straight away with steamed greens and lashings of tomato ketchup!
Notes
A mixture of mushrooms works well - try using button, field and brown
mushrooms. This is also good with a tin of red kidney beans or haricot
beans in place of some of the mushrooms. For a really tasty topping, mix
a tablespoonful of yeast flakes with some soya marg and dot on top
before placing in the oven.
