Mashed Surprise

In Brazil this is called "escondidinho" and in England Shepherd Pie. Well, my version of it, off course is neither of them, as it's vegan, but believe me it's the best. The good thing about this recipe is that you play with the filling as much as you want, I love trying different ones but mushroom is definitely my favourite. There is no other way, you have to try it! J.
