Recipe Description

Relish the comforting taste of our Lentil and Mushroom Shepherd’s Pie. This hearty vegan dish features a savory filling of lentils and mushrooms, cooked with onions, carrots, and celery in a rich vegetable gravy. Topped with creamy mashed potatoes and baked to golden perfection, it’s a wholesome and satisfying meal that brings a touch of warmth to your table.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 cup green lentils, rinsed
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes (prepared with vegan butter and non-dairy milk)
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (for garnish)

Steps:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the mushrooms and cook until they start to release their moisture, about 5 minutes more.
  4. Stir in the lentils, vegetable broth, tomato paste, thyme, and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are fully cooked.
  6. Transfer the lentil mixture to a baking dish. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top. If desired, use a fork to create ridges on the potatoes.
  7. Sprinkle the top with smoked paprika for color and flavor.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
  9. Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
