    Unbelievably, I made the shepherd’s pie! The texture didn’t really come out how I thought it would, though I think that’s because maybe I used this brand of tinned jackfruit that I honestly never should use again, too much of the tough core and not enough flesh.

    However, the umami/flavour is out of this world. Lots of it would be from the tomato paste, dried mushrooms and soy sauce, but I think the coffee definitely added a certain something to it too… must try again with some tweaks.

    Maybe I’ll make a spag bol sauce on the weekend with the remaining tomato paste and tvp mince, and see if the coffee trick works again 🤔 ☕ 😋

      I am so intrigued. I made a cottage pie this week with some chicken and mushrooms as the base and then the usual vegies like carrots and peas and celery. Mashed taters on top of course. I used a vegie stock cube for some gravy.

      It’s a great hot meal for a cold night. I have mine with melted butter on top of the taters. 🤤😋😋
