Lentil Shepard's Pie

Comfort food with a conscience. And it's delicious!!

I'm going to level with you - I don't know exact measurements, and it made enough for a rectangle pan but I froze the rest of the filling for next time I crave this!




Ingredients:
1 Cup uncooked green lentils
1 Yellow onion diced
1 Large clove of garlic minced
2 Carrots diced
2 Sticks of celery sliced
4-6 White mushrooms diced
1/2 Cup frozen peas
1/2 Cup frozen corn kernels
4-6 Potatoes mashed
1 Tbsp italian seasoning
1 Cup chicken broth
1 Tsp paprika
Splash of milk and butter to mash into potatoes






Directions:
Cook the lentils in water and boil the potatoes in chicken stock/water. Once potatoes are boiled drain and mash with a splash of milk and a bit of butter (salt and pepper).
In a pan sauté the onions in olive oil, salt and pepper. Add garlic, carrots and celery then mushrooms. Add in chicken broth and italian seasoning then cook the raw veg until there's still a bite to it. Add corn, peas, cooked lentils and put in a dish. Make sure there is a bit of broth. Top with mash potatoes and sprinkle with paprika. Bake in the oven at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy! Then nap…
