Cooking Steps

Prep and cook potatoes
1
  • Combine breadcrumbs and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) milk in a large bowl. Set aside. (NOTE: This will be for meatballs!)
  • Cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
  • Add potatoes, 1 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a medium pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered, until potatoes are fork-tender, 10-12 min.

  • Meanwhile, thinly slice mushrooms.
  • Add plant-based ground protein, half the Parmesan and half the beef stock powder to the bowl with breadcrumb mixture. Season with salt and pepper, then combine.
  • Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
Roast plant-based ground protein meatballs
3
  • Arrange meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Roast meatballs in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 10-14 min.**
Start stew

  • Meanwhile, heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, add half the Garlic Spread, then swirl the pan to melt.
  • Add mirepoix and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender, 4-5 min.
  • Reduce heat to medium.
  • Sprinkle flour over veggies. Cook, stirring often, until coated, 1-2 min.
  • Add broth concentrate, peas, remaining beef stock powder and 1 cup (2 cups) water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until stew thickens slightly, 5-6 min.
Mash potatoes
5
  • When potatoes are fork-tender, drain and return them to the same pot, off heat.
  • Roughly mash remaining Garlic Spread, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, remaining Parmesan and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) milk into potatoes until lightly mashed.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Finish and serve

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: Customers enjoyed this plant-based version of a classic comfort food, describing it as excellent and likening it to a deconstructed shepherd's pie.
  • Ease of prep: Some found the serving suggestion unusual; consider plating the stew and mash separately for a more traditional presentation.
  • Suggestions: Ensure carrots are fully cooked by adjusting cooking time or cutting them smaller.
  • Texture: For better texture, consider cooking the plant-based meatballs slightly longer to reduce any pastiness inside.
