INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked Brown Lentils (~100g)
1 cup mashed Sweet Potato (~200g)
1/2 cup Green Peas (~80g)
1 medium Carrot (~61g)
1 small Onion (~70g)
150g Firm Tofu
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Tomato Paste (~15g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (~5g)
1/2 cup Vegetable Broth (~120g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium pot, combine the sweet potato and a splash of water. Boil until tender, then mash until creamy. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped carrot; sauté until the onion is translucent and vegetables soften.
Crumble the firm tofu into the skillet and cook for a few minutes until lightly golden.
Stir in the cooked brown lentils, green peas, and tomato paste. Pour in the vegetable broth, and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the lentil and vegetable mixture into an oven-safe dish. Spread the mashed sweet potato evenly over the top, creating a smooth layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the topping is slightly browned and the filling is bubbling.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving to ensure a perfect balance of flavors.
