Cooking Instructions
Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Line a baking tray with silver foil
- Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
- Pull out a medium ovenproof dish, a large frying pan, a sieve, a peeler, a measuring jug & a masher
Get started
- Peel and dice the potatoes into 3cm chunks. Add the potatoes to the saucepan and simmer for 15-18 mins, until soft, then drain and return to the pan
- Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice the leek into 1/2cm half-moons. Dice the carrots into 1cm chunks (peel optional). Finely chop or crush the garlic. Thinly slice the mushrooms
Start the filling
- Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the leek and cook for 3-4 mins, until starting to soften. Add the mushrooms and carrot and cook for another 4-5 mins, until soft and golden. Season with salt and pepper
- Add the garlic and cook for another 1 min
Simmer simmer
- Drain and rinse the lentils, then stir into the pan with the sundried tomato paste
- Pour in the gravy and 100ml hot water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 3-4 mins, until the sauce is thick and coating the lentils. Season with salt and pepper
Make the mash
- When ready, add 1 tbsp oil, half the mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper to the potatoes and mash until smooth
- Cut the broccoli into small florets
- Preheat the grill to high (240C)
- Finely chop the parsley. Stir half the nutritional yeast, the remaining mustard and three-quarters of the parsley into the lentils. Season to taste. Add a splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick
Grill & plate up
- Transfer the lentil mixture to the medium ovenproof dish, top with the mash and spread evenly. Use a fork to scrape lines onto the topping. Sprinkle over the remaining nutritional yeast
- Add the broccoli to the lined baking tray, drizzle with 1 tsp oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the pie and broccoli together for 8-9 mins, until the pie is golden and the broccoli is soft
- Serve the mushroom & lentil pie onto plates, with the broccoli alongside. Garnish with the remaining parsley
