INGREDIENTS
1 medium Sweet Potato (200g)
0.75 cup cooked Brown Lentils (150g)
1 small Carrot (50g)
0.25 medium Onion (25g)
1 cup Spinach (30g)
0.25 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (60ml)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (5ml)
3 ounces Tempeh (85g)
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Peel and cube the sweet potato. Boil or steam until tender, then mash with almond milk, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Crumble the tempeh and sauté in a pan with a teaspoon of olive oil until lightly browned.
Add diced onion, minced garlic, and diced carrot to the tempeh. Sauté until softened, then stir in the cooked lentils and fresh thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix in the spinach at the end of the sauté until just wilted.
Spread the lentil-tempeh vegetable mixture evenly in a baking dish.
Layer the mashed sweet potato over the filling, using the back of a spoon to spread it smoothly.
Optional: Place under a broiler for 2-3 minutes for a lightly browned top.
Serve warm and enjoy this hearty, protein-packed twist on shepherd's pie.
