Let's Get Started
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the tempeh, onion, carrots, and garlic and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.
- Add the vegetable broth, tomato paste, and soy sauce to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the peas and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
- In a large pot, boil the potatoes until soft, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
- Add the vegan butter and almond milk to the pot and mash the potatoes until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the tempeh mixture in a baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes, spreading them evenly over the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and the filling is bubbling. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
