This is great for non-vegans who just want to eat vegan occasionally. Why wouldn’t you want to expand your food choices? So many people eat the same kinds of things over and over, vegans have gotten really good at using non-traditional plant-based ingredients and making them interesting and tasty.

It's funny how meat eaters always joke about vegans being triggered but every time veganism is mentioned they almost get a mental aneurysm

The anti vegan comments here aren't even original, just unfunny and stupid. I never see vegans doing this shit on the meat videos, or Muslims or Jews complaining on pork videos, because guess what - you aren't forced to watch. People have different beliefs and no-one is stopping you eating your lamb pie, get over it

people get so defensive about their meat lol. No one is forcing this on you, its an option, and its helpful for those who lead a meatless lifestyle. Let people do their own thing geez

As a vegan I find it refreshing to see a non-vegan cook something vegan and say "it's delicious". I feel like it's aalways either vegan saying vegan food is good or other people hating on it. Thank you culinary director's whose name I forgot for being open-minded and cool. :) Oh and the rest of you in the comments saying it's a treason, or flavorless ? You can go choke on your own shit, if you don't like it don't eat it nobody is forcing you to anything.

Wow these comments. I'm a meatman myself, but let people eat what they want

Having a plant based meal here and there isn't going to do anything but open you up to new recipes you may like and your arteries not eating so much sat fat/cholesterol.

It's funny when non-vegans gets more triggered than vegans.

I (a vegan "in progress") made this tonight tonight for me and my non-vegan family. We all loved it! Thank you!

My favorite part of any vegan related video is all the carnists in the comment section who act like children throwing a temper tantrum over the idea that someone might not want to eat meat. It’s not that strange of a concept. The title of this video isn’t WHY YOU NEED TO BE VEGAN. It’s a fucking recipe. If you’re not interested then move along. If I see a recipe video with something I don’t like I don’t go storm the comment section telling everyone fuck you because I don’t like it. I don’t understand why you need to waste your energy on petty things like hating on someone else’s lifestyle. They aren’t hurting anyone, in fact quite the opposite. The same can’t be said for yourself. They say vegans never shut up about being vegan, just take a look at this comment section. It’s pretty clear to me who can’t shut up.

Everyone, i have the solution. We just call it... "Farmers Pie"

Thank you so mush for making something vegan! Hope you do more vegan meals here and there

Instead of thickening with the potato starch you could just use some of that water that the potatoes are boiling in. It's like using the potato starch, but its free.

Why so many dislikes? I'm not even vegan, but it looks REALLY good. I would eat that any day. And the girl is lovely. Love her positivity! :)

I love that you guys put up so much vegan stuff on this channel!

This video could use more comments whining about meat not being there.

I love how people have an issue with the idea of vegan shepherd's pie, but not about the recipe or this video.

"I'm a mash-hole" lol she's so cute

My god what is this comments section?! It's a vegan meal leave them alone, it's not like they made a Shepherd's pie with the blood of Christ, a piece of the wailing wall, a couple pages of some dead sea scrolls and a heaping topping of dome of the rock. Anyway thanks munchies, I may keep this in mind for vegan in-laws, but I am a bit concerned over what meat substitute is, and would likely just use some kind of tofu.

how can people not like this? just because its vegan?

I'm not vegan but I just made this recipe yesterday for a vegan dinner party and it was such a hit! Love following Farideh's recipes ^_^

Lots of salty people in this comment section.

I like how at the end the video of matty making a steak sandwich is promoted in this vegan video.

Mane everybody debating about vegan cooking but what disturbed me here is that BLACK PEPPER IS MISSING and no one cares in the comment !

It looks great! Thank you for making bomb ass vegan food!

Awesome that you guys are doing recipes that are cruelty-free! Keep it up!

How do you know if someone eats meat? They’ll tell you.

The secret is to use fresh shepherds.

Thanks munchies. Gonna make this tonight.

i actually made this recipe and followed it per suggested measures and it actually turned out super flavorful without any extra seasoning! don’t play yourself but i did add a layer of shredded cheese between the taters and substitute meat. don’t judge me

Right, so a Shepherd's Pie is called such because of the mutton/lamb mince. use beef mince and it's a Cottage Pie. This, having vegan meat subsitute would be...a Gardener's Pie?

Potato’s skinned, diced, water, salt, 20mins Coconut oil, Carrot, Onion, celery, tomato past, soy sauce, curry powder, Beyond meat, potato starch, cook, vegetable stock, cooked defrosted peas. Mash cooked potato’s med heat, almond milk, butter, salt 10mins Add to baking dish, add mashed potato’s, texture, butter, 375temp, 45min

lmao a video about someone making a dish without using animal products and the majority of the comment section is filled with people being defensive about their eating habits.. No one is forcing you to turn vegan or even try going vegan, but there really is no reason to get this defensive about not wanting to use animal products.

I used to love munchies before i was vegan but now i love them again

Y’all are this mad over people not eating meat?

Why people are getting offended by vegan recepies? Because deep inside they know that what they do (eat) is wrong and videos like this just rubbing it to their face.

Great simple vegan 🌱 shepherds pie. I’m a vegan and this is super easy

There's probably some alien race out there who looks at humans the same way we look at vegetables and mushrooms.

There are no shepherds who are vegan... this here is just a savory vegan pie.

This looks so cool! I might make this for my meat eating family and just "forget" to tell them it's vegan and see what happens. :)

I always marvel at that knife wall. I'm glad I decided to watch this one.

I deglaze with red wine and it definitely adds awesome flavor.

MORE FARIDEH PLEASE!!!!

yum thanks farideh

I don't care for vegan food, but I care for Farideh

I would love to try this! On another note, Madame Director, your laughter is addictive. Cheers

She's got the cutest smile ever. Is she single?

Vegan butter is just margarine right?

Love Munchies and happy you are showing more diverse recipes.

You guys should get The Happy Pear on the show!!

Farideh, keep up the awesome work... this is what the Food Network and Cooking Channel should be doing... Munchies ROCKS... and so do you... great package.

Awesome recipe, love it!

That looks so fucking good, thank you for posting this!

Meat substitute? Fuck that. I've been making vegan friendly shepherd's/cottage pie for years, using lentils and other cool swells. Rocking the boat with fake meat only deters the meat eaters from trying it, in my experience. Incidentally, I eat meat too.

this would probably be fine. the meat ends up being kind of cooked to death and losing flavor anyway. it’s ground meat not filet mignon haha

Contact lens gave me onion cutting super powers

more Farideh!

Thanks!! This will be a cool change of pace for our guests.

by the way advice to prospective cooks, that is an allclad pan, do not expect similar results any any lesser pan. you COULD do this in cast iron but it would be really fast and you gotta keep your eye on it at all times. for new cooks you want either a GOOD stainless clad pan (like an allclad, but lots of other options these days) or a well seasoned carbon steel pan for something like this. and as i said some cast iron could pull it off, but cast iron can do almost anything if you are careful (it holds more heat/energy, so one delicate stuff ya gotta be careful)

A for effort munchies. looks yummy

I miss you Farideh! Where you been?!

Love this woman

Nice, looks good

wish farideh cooked my meals, would slam 10/10

They should call this Gardener's Pie or something lol

Love Farideh!

why does this have so much hate? I'm not a vegan. idk, are the vegans disliking? please explain

Why did Mrs Tomato blush? ... Because she saw Mr Green Pea over the fence!

Right on! Great Ideas! Make it your own!

I love her laugh

Looks awesome!

That looks delicious! I will try this recipe, thanks Munchies.

Lentils are also actually a great substitute for the vegan meat too!

Fucking love her laugh

I think I’ll make this for thanksgiving

Boil your potatoes skin on if you want more flavour. Colan cancer free pie. Well done.

I like the potato starch idea. I make shepherdess pie with different types of mushrooms and with a grain (usually barley) for texture instead of the faux meat. But the veggies and mushrooms tend to release a lot of water, which leaves a puddle at the bottom of the dish. I think the starch would really solve my problem.

There's NOTHING that can replace the taste that anchovies gives, like in Worcestershire sauce that should be in this pie; but there are bad substitutes. I will give your vegan version a try.

i've tried stuff like vegan lasagna and they're actually not bad, but the real thing is just better. I respect though if people are vegan if they had problems with cholesterol or diabetes etc. More Farideh videos.

1:55 if you can laugh about the tears you haven't peeled sliced and diced enough 50lb bags of onions. it isn't a fucking joke.

Yum! I will have to try this variation, ty for the recipe :)

Looks great. I am definitely going to cook this at some point.

I'm making this right now! I just put it in the oven, I hope it comes out as delicious as the one you made! Thanks for the awesome recipe! :)

Definitely have to try this! Thanks for the video :)

I'm an omnivore myself and I picked this video out of all them of them to watch this morning just because I thought it would be neat and interesting to see how they did it. Let people eat what they want.

Why is the simple concept of people not wanting to eat meat so hard to grasp lol

Vegan Shepherd's Pie: ok that could be good. 12 oz of mushrooms: aw hell no.

Everyone is talking about veganism and stuff, but I'm over think about how this girl Is awesome

Why not use beans instead of the meat substitute? Tastes great too and is probably more nutritional

Looks really good. I feel (as a non-vegan) I'd miss that little indulgence of putting butter on top of the mash to make it browned and whatnot, but I'd eat the absolute fuck out of this.

Using tamari instead of Worcestershire seems pretty great (I cooked this today and there was no distinct soy sauce flavor, just... richness) but I would also recommend a bit of vinegar as a replacement for the traditional wine. (Not my idea but Joshua Weissman's.) Also grating carrots, onion and garlic like Gordon Ramsay suggests. Yeah, I combined like 5 different recipes (also Adam Ragusea and a written Ramsay recipe). And it turned out fantastic. 😊 (Didn't use any mushrooms or celery, wanted something as close to "traditional" - whatever that means - as possible, since it was my first time.)

I mean, it looks good. I'd try a bite.

Love her personality 💞💞

The recipe for this looks great...... LOVE THE INTEGRATION OF MULTIPLE INGREDIENTS..... MEATLESS , DAIRYLESS ... IS TAKING OVER HEALTH BENEFITS ! ! ! GET OVER YOUR MIND, OLD FOOD LEARNED BEHAVIORS, AND FEEL THE BODY RESPOND TO BETTER FOOD PROCESSES ! ! ! IT IS NOT ABOUT "I CAN PUT ANYTHING IN MY MOUTH, INSTEAD HOW DOES THE BODY RESPOND TO WHAT I PUT IN MY MOUTH"

Comments be like 10% people bitching it's vegan and 90% people bitching about the 10% lol.

>vegan >shepherd's Pie choose one...

great dish loved it..

HEY! Steak, Patate, Blé d'inde, that's it

Can we all just talk about the most important topic? How hot is Farideh?.... right?

This should be named Farmer's Pie.
