Ingredients

Topping

  • 1 medium cauliflower
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast

Filling

  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 cup hemp hearts
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 5 stalks celery chopped
  • 2 cups mushrooms chopped
  • 1 cup walnuts chopped
  • 1 tablespoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup vegetable stock

Instructions

Make the topping

  • Trim the cauliflower and cut into florets. Place into a medium saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the cauliflower is soft.
  • Remove the cauliflower from the heat and drain the water.
  • Mash the cauliflower with a potato ricer or a fork.
  • Add the seasoning and nutritional year and mix well.

Make the filling

  • Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan on a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes until soft.
  • Add the mushrooms and celery and cook for a further 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  • Add the tomato paste, mustard and stock and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Add the chopped walnuts, hemp hearts and seasoning.  Stir well and cook for 5 minutes.   Taste test and adjust the seasoning for your own preference.

Assemble

  • Pre-heat the oven to 190C/375F degrees.
  • Spoon the filling into large ramekin dishes (I used 8oz dishes) or one baking dish.
  • Pipe or spoon the mashed cauliflower on top of the filling.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes.
