Friends and collaborators Alia Toor and Moira Clark return to The Dep for January’s pop-up showcase.

Keeping with their theme of homestyle comfort food, Moira and Alia have prepared a hearty Shepherd’s Pie with a vegetarian option perfect to combat the cold.

Their traditional Shepherd’s Pie is filled with ground turkey, lamb, carrots, onions, parsley, garlic, thyme, and peas all cooked in chicken broth and a soft homemade potato-sliced crust.

Each dish comes with a mixed green salad — romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, green onions, radishes, red pepper, celery, carrots, and cilantro with a simple vinaigrette.

All for 14, veg 10

Finish off with an Apple Pear Crumble for dessert! 4
