Filling:
1 ½ cup carrots, chopped
1 ½ cup mushrooms, chopped
1 cup onions, chopped small
1 cup potatoes, cubed
½ cup milk
2 Tbsp corn starch
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp basil
Crust:
1 ¼ cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
3 Tbsp butter
½ cup milk
mint leaves
bit of milk
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Chop the carrots. Boil them until they are bright colored and slightly soft. Drain, reserving ¼ cup of the water.
Cube the potatoes. Boil them until they're soft. Drain, reserving ¼ cup of the water. Mash the potatoes with the milk.
Stir together the carrots, onions, mushrooms, cornstarch, rosemary and basil. Put in a 9” square or circular baking pan. Spread the mashed potatoes over the top. Pour in the carrot and potato water.
Stir the flour, salt, and baking powder together. Cut in the butter, then stir in the milk. Knead to made a cohesive dough. On a piece of waxed paper, roll out the dough until it is big enough to cover the pan. Use the waxed paper to place the dough on top, tucking in the edges. Brush a small amount of milk on the crust, then sprinkle liberally with mint.
Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the crust is golden.

1 lb beef, cut into chunks, or ground
½ tsp lavender buds
8 oz sliced mushrooms
7 red potatoes of variable size
2 Tbsp cream cheese
¼ cup milk
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
2 beets
3 carrots
1 onion
¼ cup fennel leaves and stalks
2 Tbsp flour or corn starch
Cook the beef and mushrooms with the lavender buds in a small amount of water. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Cut potatoes into chunks and boil until soft. Drain the water; mash the potatoes with the milk, cream cheese, salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Chop up the vegetables and place in a casserole dish. You can use just the beet root, or use the leaves as well. Put the beef and mushrooms over the vegetables, it's okay if it's not fully cooked at this point. Sprinkle flour over everything.
Spread the mashed potatoes over everything.
Bake for about 30 minutes. Broil it at the end if necessary to brown the top.
