Since the vegan shepherd's pie is so hearty with the mushroom base and starchy potato topping, it doesn't need much to go along with it. A nice green salad is the perfect complement to the rich flavors of the casserole, and I like having it with a glass of red wine to go along with the mushroom gravy. This vegan shepherd's pie is what (dinner) dreams are made of! Jaye was the one who conceived of it (he's great with the savory stuff!) and he wanted to experiment with chopping up mushrooms super fine and putting them in with the veggie mince to create a really hearty texture.
