INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Lentils (198g)
1 medium Carrot (61g)
1 stalk Celery (40g)
1/2 medium Onion (55g)
2 cloves Garlic (6g)
2 tbsp Tomato Paste (33g)
1/2 cup Vegetable Broth (120g)
1 cup chopped Cauliflower (107g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
4 oz Extra Firm Tofu (112g)
1 tsp Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomato paste and thyme, stirring to combine, then pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
Stir in the cooked lentils and gently fold in the tofu cubes. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes so the flavors meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, steam the chopped cauliflower until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a bowl and mash until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Spread the lentil and vegetable mixture evenly in an ovenproof dish. Top with the mashed cauliflower, spreading it to cover the mixture completely.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the top is lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
