How to Make Shepherd's Pie With Eggplant Aubergine

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Boil potatoes until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a large skillet, brown the ground meat over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
  4. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened (about 5 minutes).
  5. Stir in the celery, mushrooms, and eggplant. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant is tender (about 10-15 minutes).
  6. Add the green pepper, herbs, and peas. Cook for another 5 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the cheese, wheat germ, and vinegar.
  8. Transfer the meat and vegetable mixture to a buttered 9x13 inch baking dish.
  9. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top.
  10. Optional: Sprinkle with extra cheese and paprika.
  11. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
