Lentil Shepherds Pie

1 syn on Green for whole dish
Uses 2 HExA's for whole dish
375kcals per serving

Serves - 4

Need:
Large lasagne/casserole type dish
Large saucepan
Medium saucepan

Ingredients

6 medium/large potatoes
2 large carrots
red lentils (enough to cover the bottom of the pan/dish)
1 medium onion
1 400g tin baked beans
Tbsp of tomato puree (1 syn)
4 veg oxos
56g/82g grated cheese (2 HExA)
salt & pepper
1/2 pint water

Method

Peel and chop potatoes, and boil in a large saucepan until tender and then mash with seasoning.

In a medium saucepan add a layer of red lentils to cover the bottom of the pan, should be thick enough so you can't see the bottom of the pan but no more.
Add to the lentils in the pan, 4 veg oxos, finely chopped onion, tin of beans, finely chopped carrot, tomato puree and half a pint of water.

Stir mixture and bring to the boil...then simmer for about 20 mins.

Transfer mixture to lasagne dish or casserole dish and cook in the oven for about 30-40 mins until carrots are tender.

The mixture should thicken nicely. If too thick, add a little more water.

Spread the mashed potato on the top of the mixture, season and add the grated cheese.

Return to the oven for about 20-30 mins until cheese is golden and bubbling.

This is reeeeally delicious and will be a regular in our house now.

[PinkToaster]

The stew turned out amazing, it was gorgeous and will definitely be making it again! The insides of the croquettes were nice, but the outsides were rock hard lol! Perhaps I did something wrong?

 

[-Tally-]

Ooo not sure, mine had a little crunch to them but not too hard, maybe adjust the cooking time/heat next time? You may have a better oven than me.
