INGREDIENTS
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 carrot
- 1 onion
- 100g mushrooms
- 2 garlic cloves
- 10 sprays sunflower oil
- 1 can lentils, drained
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 3 tbsp gravy granules
- 85g peas, frozen
- 150g green beans
- 20g low fat non dairy spread
- 30ml almond milk
DIRECTIONS
- Peel the potatoes, then chop them into small pieces and add them to a big saucepan. Cook until softened by covering with salted water, bringing to a boil, then turning down the heat.
- Dice the mushrooms, carrots, onions, and garlic. Onion and carrots are added to a sizable nonstick pan that has been oil-sprayed. Cook the onion in the oil for a few minutes until it begins to soften. Cook the garlic for one more minute after adding it.
- Add salt and pepper, stir, and simmer the lentils and chopped mushrooms for a few minutes. In the meantime, preheat the grill to medium-high heat and boil the kettle while preparing enough gravy to cover the veggies in the pan (the gravy should be very thick).
- When the mixture of lentils is boiling, pour the gravy over it. Add the peas and whisk to combine everything. Reduce the heat to a boil and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the sauce really starts to thicken.Green beans should be steamed after bringing a pan of water to a boil.
- Put the lentil mixture in a dish that can go in the oven. With non-dairy spread, almond milk, a dash of salt, and the lentil mixture on top, mash the potatoes. Put the dish under the grill until the top of the mash is crispy and golden.
