A classic comforting meal for the couple of chilly months ahead. It's very hearty and keeps you full for long. Serve with a boatload of boiled peas.
Lentil and Veg Mini Shepherd’s Pie [Vegan]
Ingredients
- 4 medium carrots
- 1/2 red onion
- finely chopped 2 large potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
- 3/4 cups vegetable stock
- 1/4 cups puy lentils
- 2 tbsp. of vegan margarine
- 1/2 leek
Preparation
- Pre-heat the oven to 356ºF/ 180ºC.
- Bring vegetable stock to the boil in a large saucepan.

- Boil the potatoes for 20 minutes until soft, then mash (either by hand of with a food processor).
- Add a little bit of vegan margarine to make them buttery if you wish. Butter the ovenproof pie dish(es).
- Combine all the vegetables and lentils and spoon them into the bottom of the dish(es).
- Cover with the mash and bake in the oven for 20 minutes (slightly longer if you are making one large pie).
Yes indeed
I call it ‘cottage pie’ now after catching grief from meat eaters about shepherds exploiting animals.
This looks good. Think I’ll try 1 big pie.
