Meatless Shepherd's Pie
"This classic dish has been given a meatless update with sliced mushrooms and seitan (pronounced “SAY-tan”). Sometimes referred to as “wheat meat,” seitan is made from wheat protein and has an especially chewy texture that some say replicates meat. You can find it in most grocery stores, or try making it at home if you’re feeling adventurous...."
