Lentil Shepherds Pie
Link
Ingredients:
1 can lentils (or equivalent cooked lentils if using dried)
1 can diced tomatoes
1 medium onion, chopped
mashed potatoes
a few cloves of garlic
dried herbs – basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, etc.
splash olive oil, margarine, or water (for sautéing onions in)
salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Prepare mashed potatoes – make sure that they’re soft enough to be easy enough to spread on top of the filling so be sure to add plenty of water or soymilk to them!
In a large saucepan, sauté onions and garlic until soft. use as much garlic as you wish.. I personally like it with plenty of garlic!
Add lentils, canned tomatoes, as well as dried herbs.. use whichever herbs or combination of herbs as suits you, and as much as suits you. season with salt and pepper.
Spoon mixture into a large casserole dish or lasagna pan. you may omit some of the juices if filling seems too watery. spread a layer of mashed potatoes on top.
Place in oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until potato topping is slightly browned.
Serves: 6
Preparation time: 45 minutes?
I made this with quite a few more veggies and it turned out great.

Beet Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients:
- 6 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 can (15 ounce size) beets, undrained
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
Place the potatoes in a soup pot and add just enough water to cover them. Add the beets and their liquid and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender; drain and place in a large bowl.
Add the remaining ingredients and beat with an electric beater on medium speed until well blended. Serve immediately.
I’m also steaming the beet greens with the potatoes and beets. A simple tasty meal.
