Method
Shepherd's Pies: In food processor, pulse together onion, mushrooms and garlic until finely chopped. Set aside.In large nonstick skillet, cook beefover medium-high heat, breaking up with spoon, until no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Scrape into bowl. In same skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; sauté onion mixture and rosemary until no liquid remains, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with flour; cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes. Stir in corn, peas, Worcestershire sauce, half each of the salt and pepper and 1 cup water. Add beef and any juices; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Divide among four 1 1/2-cup (375 mL) ramekins.
Meanwhile, in large saucepan of boiling lightly salted water, cook potatoes until tender, about 12 minutes. Reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid, drain. Return potatoes to saucepan; mash with half of the butter, the remaining salt and pepper and reserved cooking liquid, as needed, until smooth. Stir in green onions. Spoon over beef mixture, spreading to rims of ramekins. (Make- ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days; add 20 minutes to bake time.) Dot tops with remaining butter. Bake on rimmed baking sheet in 400°F (200°C) oven until tops are golden, about 30 minutes.
Roasted Carrot and Tomato Salad: Meanwhile, peel carrots; cut into 1 1/2-inch (4 cm) lengths and halve lengthwise. Toss with tomatoes and 2 tsp of the oil; spread on parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Bake on bottom rack of 400°F (200°C) oven, turning once, until carrots are tender, about 30 minutes. Let cool on sheet for 5 minutes. In large bowl, whisk together vinegar, salt, pepper and remaining oil. Add carrot mixture and salad greens; toss to coat. Serve with shepherd's pies.
