freshly ground black pepper, to taste
½ cup|125 ml olive oil, plus more
12 ounces|360 grams shiitake mushrooms, sliced

Directions
- Heat oven to 375°F. Cover potatoes with water in a large saucepan. Add salt and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes; drain well. Return to pan and add almond creamer and 6 tablespoons vegan butter; mash until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium-high. Add half of shiitakes and cook until browned on both sides, 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add remaining mushrooms and continue to cook, adding more oil as needed, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl.
- Add 3 tablespoons of oil to the pan. Add the garlic, celery, carrot, and onion and cook until onion is translucent and vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the meat crumbles and cook until crisped and lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in reserved mushrooms and thyme. Add tamari and tomato paste and cook until liquid is absorbed and vegetables are coated, 1-2 minutes. Add vegetable broth and bring to a simmer; cook until liquid is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in frozen peas and potato starch mixture and remove from heat.
- Transfer filling mixture to a 3-qt. baking dish. Top with mashed potatoes and spread evenly over filling. Dot with remaining vegan butter and bake until topping is golden, about 35 to 40 minutes.
