List of Ingredients:

1 cup green lentils

2 cups water

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion (diced)

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 carrot (diced)

1 stalk celery (diced)

1 cup frozen peas and corn

1/4 cup tomato paste

1 tablespoon flour

1/2 cup vegetable broth

4 cups mashed potatoes

Salt and pepper to taste

 

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a saucepan, combine lentils and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until lentils are tender.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, garlic, carrot, celery, frozen peas and corn to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender.

Stir in tomato paste and flour until everything is well combined.

Add vegetable broth to the skillet and stir until a thick sauce forms. Add cooked lentils to the skillet and stir everything together.

Transfer the lentil mixture to a large baking dish. Spoon mashed potatoes over the lentil mixture, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
