INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup dry Green Lentils (150g)
1 medium Carrot (61g)
1 medium Parsnip (82g)
1 stalk Celery (40g)
0.5 medium Onion (50g)
2 cloves Garlic (6g)
1 tbsp Tomato Paste (16g)
0.5 cup Vegetable Broth (120g)
1 cup sliced Mushrooms (70g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
PREPARATION
Rinse the green lentils thoroughly and cook them in water until tender, then drain and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss chopped carrots, parsnip, and celery with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper; spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the root vegetables in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until they begin to soften and brown.
Meanwhile, heat a small amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant.
Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and become tender.
Stir in tomato paste and vegetable broth, then add the cooked lentils. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes to marry the flavors.
Season with salt, pepper, and any herbs you enjoy (such as thyme or rosemary) to taste.
Layer the sautéed lentil mixture in a serving dish and top with the roasted root vegetables, gently mashing them to create a rustic 'pie' topping.
Serve hot and enjoy this nourishing, savory pie that satisfies comfort and wellness in every bite.
