INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked green lentils
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced mushrooms
1/2 cup green peas
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1 medium sweet potato
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried rosemary
Salt and pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a large pan, heat a small amount of water or a splash of vegetable broth. Sauté the diced onions, carrots, celery, and mushrooms until they begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, smoked paprika, thyme, and rosemary. Allow the spices to bloom for about 1 minute.
Add the cooked green lentils, green peas, and vegetable broth to the pan. Simmer for 5-7 minutes to let the flavors meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, bake or steam the sweet potato until very tender. Once cooked, scoop out the flesh and mash it until smooth. Stir in the nutritional yeast to enhance creaminess and boost flavor.
Spread the lentil and vegetable mixture evenly in a baking dish. Top with the mashed sweet potato, smoothing it into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the topping starts to crisp slightly on the edges and everything is heated through.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty, smoky spiced shepherd's pie!
