Tideford Organics

Vegetarian shepherd's pie. Potatoes, lentils and seasonal garden vegetables casserole.

A classic British favourite made vegan.

Ingredients

1 medium onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tbsp olive oil
300g uncooked red lentils (rinsed + drained)
500 ml vegetable stock (or 500ml hot water plus 2 vegetable stock cubes)
1 pot of Tideford Organics Vegan Gravy with Red Miso
1 small bunch chopped parsley
100g frozen peas
2 carrots (peeled + diced)
1 tbsp cornflour (if needed)
1.5kg floury potatoes
50g vegetable margarine
75ml soya milk
Salt + pepper (to taste)

Preparation

In a large saucepan, sauté onions + garlic with a pinch of salt + pepper in the olive oil until lightly browned.
Add lentils, carrots, stock, gravy + parsley + stir. Simmer until lentils are tender (about 30 mins). Stir in the peas + thicken with cornflour mixed with water if needed.
Meanwhile, peel the potatoes + slice any large ones in half. Place in a large pot + cover with water. Bring to a simmer, then salt, cover + cook for 20-30 minutes or until very tender.
Heat the oven to 180°C / 160 °C Fan.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain + mash with vegetable margarine, soya milk, salt and pepper.
Transfer the lentil mixture to a baking dish + carefully top with mashed potatoes. Smooth down with a fork.
Place the dish on a baking tray + bake for 15 minutes or until the mash is lightly browned on top.

Tip: Add a dash of vegan Worcester sauce (we like Biona) to the lentil mix for a savoury boost.
