Vegan Lentil Shepherd’s Pie with Parsnip and andPotato Mashby Gena Hamshaw Editors' Comments: Even the easiest of shepherd's pies can feel like an undertaking. To make this delicious, hearty dish a lot more accessible, try cooking the lentils and prepping the vegetables one day in advance. On the day of assembly, mash the potatoes and parsnips early in the day, and sauté the veggies and assemble the pie later on before dinner. Leftovers can easily be frozen. And I dare you not to eat all of the mashed parsnips and potatoes before you even get to finishing the recipe. [Robyn's Comments: wow, did this recipe ever need editing!] Note: posted onto Tumblr, found through Twitter, recipe linked into Drop Box. Craziness. Serves 6-8 INGREDIENTS METHOD 2. Drain, return the vegetables to the pot, and add 2/3 cup milk, 2 tbsp olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Mash well with a potato masher. If you need more milk, add the remaining 1/3 cup. Set the mashed potatoes and parsnips aside. 3. While potatoes are cooking, bring 1 1/2 cup lentils and 3 cups water to a boil. Reduce and simmer until lentils have absorbed all liquid and are soft (about 30 or 35 minutes). Set lentils aside. 4. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until onions are translucent and golden (10 minutes or so). Add the carrots and celery and cook till both vegetables are tender (another 8 minutes). 5. Add the cremini mushrooms and cook for another 3 minutes before adding the lentils, rosemary, thyme, and 1/2 cup vegetable broth. Simmer the mixture, stirring well to incorporate flavors. Add more liquid as needed; you don’t want there to be too much broth or liquid in the bottom of the pan, because you’ll get a runny shepherd’s pie, but you do want it to be quite moist. When everything is warm and well mixed, season to taste with salt and pepper. 6. Spoon the lentil and veggie mixture in an even layer in a large casserole dish. Spread the mashed potatoes delicately and evenly over all, and then bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees or until potatoes are browning. Sprinkle with extra rosemary, if desired, and serve. |
