Paleo Sheppard’s Pie
Shepherd's pie is one of my go to comfort food dishes. It comes together pretty quickly and only takes about 35 mins to bake. I’ve taken out any ingredients that could cause inflammation, and replaced them with alternatives that are just as tasty, but that won’t send your body into an inflammatory spiral. If you use grass-fed beef or lamb and a quality bone broth, this dish will be quite nourishing to the gut. It's packed with antiviral and immune-boosting veggies, too! Great for this time of year. It is very versatile; you can add other veggies, like mushrooms, leeks, etc. - if you have them around. It is a winner when it comes to food prep because it freezes well and will last several days in the fridge. Use sweet potatoes or regular mashed potatoes to top your pie, if you’d rather. This one is made with mashed cauliflower to keep your blood sugar levels in check and because of that, it’s also keto friendly. I like to serve mine with an arugula salad tossed with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and fresh-squeezed lemon juice.
