INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Green Lentils (200g)
1 medium Sweet Potato (150g)
1 small Carrot, diced (50g)
1 stalk Celery, diced (40g)
1/4 medium Onion, diced (40g)
1 tablespoon Tomato Paste (16g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (for filling, 5g)
1/4 cup Frozen Peas (35g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (68g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (for topping, 5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute. Then add the cooked green lentils and frozen peas, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the lentil and vegetable mixture into a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
In a separate bowl, mash the cooked sweet potato until smooth. Mix in 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the nonfat Greek yogurt until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
Spread the creamy mashed sweet potato evenly over the lentil mixture, using the back of a spoon to smooth the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is slightly golden and the filling is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty and nutritious shepherd's pie!
