Instructions
For the mashed potatoes
Peel your potatoes, then roughly chop them into pieces. Cook them in a pot of boiling salted water for about 30 minutes. Cooking times vary depending on the size of your potatoes.
To check if your potatoes are cooked, poke them with the tip of a knife. If the knife does not go in, the potatoes are not yet cooked. If the knife goes in easily without too much resistance, your potatoes are ready!
Drain the potatoes and place them in a large bowl. Add the milk and butter and mash the potatoes with a potato masher or grinder. Mix the mashed potatoes well and season with salt and nutmeg.
For the plant-based hachi
In a pan, brown the onions and carrots with a drizzle of olive oil. Then add the tofu, mushrooms, thyme and rosemary. Mix well and fry for 5 minutes.
Then add the smoked paprika. Finally, remove the thyme and rosemary and pour in the soy sauce.
Finally, butter an ovenproof pan. Place the vegetable chop and pack it well. Cover with mashed potatoes and spread them evenly over the dish. Finish with grated cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes at 180 °C. Serve warm with a green salad.
