• Mashed potatoes
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled
• 1/4 cup almond milk
• 1 tbsp vegan butter or oil
• 1/4 tsp salt
• Lentil filling
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 large carrot, chopped
• 1 celery stalk, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• pinch salt & pepper
• 1/4 cup red wine to deglaze
• 1 1/2 cups lentils (canned or pre-cooked)

• 3 tbsp tomato paste
• 1/2 cup-3/4 cup vegetable broth
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions :

• Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan on medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrot, celery and garlic to the pan with a pinch of salt and pepper and let brown, stirring constantly for 6-7 minutes until the veggies are nice and brown. (They will cook down a lot)
• Once the veggies are browned, add the red wine, stirring until the liquid is evaporated, then reduce heat to medium.
• Add the lentils, peas, tomato paste, 1/2 cup vegetable broth, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper and stir together letting cook for 5 minutes on medium-low heat. If the lentils become too dry add the remaining 1/4 cup broth if needed.
• Remove from heat and set aside.
• To prep the potatoes, peel and chop into large chunks and add to a pot of boiling water, boiling for about 10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
• Drain the water, then add the almond milk, butter and salt and mash with a potato masher.
• Scoop the lentil mixture into ramekins or baking dish and top with the mashed potatoes.
• Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes.
• *Optional* turn the oven on broil for 2 minutes to make the tops crispy
