My favorite recipe for Shepherd’s Pie on FunctionalFoodie.com appears to have gone all 404 on me. So while I don’t have the original printed, I know it was based on Gordon Ramsay’s recipe, so I reimagined it. Here’s what I recovered from memory that worked this past week:
Paleo Shepherd's Pie
My re-creation of the amazing Paleo Shepherd's Pie recipe from FunctionalFoodie.com.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil

- 4 sprigs fresh thyme, trimmed and finely chopped
- 3 pkgs frozen cauliflower (steamable bags)
- 2 tbsp granulated garlic salt
- 1 tbsp black pepper
Directions

This is a favorite of ours and is in heavy rotation in our pre-prepared meal plan. Sherry does an amazing job with it, and I highly recommend it.
