Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 medium carrots (diced)
  • 2 celery stalks (diced)
  • 1 cup mushrooms (chopped)
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth

For the Topping:

  • 4 cups mashed potatoes (prepared in advance or fresh)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery, and cook for 5–6 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
  2. Add mushrooms and cook for another 4–5 minutes until they release their moisture. Stir in tomato paste, soy sauce, thyme, rosemary, and paprika, cooking for 1–2 minutes more.
  3. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the vegetables. Gradually add vegetable broth, stirring continuously until a thick gravy forms.
  4. Add peas and corn, stir well, and simmer for another 2–3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a baking dish and spread mashed potatoes evenly on top. Use a fork to create texture on the surface.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden and filling is bubbling. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra richness, add a splash of milk or butter to the mashed potatoes.
  • You can also top with shredded cheese before baking if desired.
