Method
- Peel the potatoes, cut into small chunks and place in a large saucepan. Cover with salted water and bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until softened.
- Dice the carrots, onion, mushrooms and crush garlic. Spray a large non stick pan with oil and add the onion and carrots. Fry for a few minutes until onion starts to soften slightly. Add in the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add in the lentils and chopped mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, stir and cook for a few minutes. Meanwhile boil the kettle and make up enough gravy to cover the vegetables in the pan (you want the gravy to be quite thick)
- Preheat the grill to a medium high heat.
- Pour the gravy over the lentils mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes until sauce begins to really thicken, add the peas and stir to mix everything together.
- Bring a pan of water to the boil and steam the green beans.
- Pour the lentil mixture into an ovenproof dish. Mash the potatoes with non dairy spread and almond milk, add a pinch of salt and pepper and top the lentil mixture. Place dish under a grill until mash is golden and crispy on top.
