This Vegan Lentil Shepherd's Pie is a hearty and warming meal that's great for a cold night. With protein-rich lentils and creamy mashed potatoes on top, it's a meal that both vegans and non-vegans will enjoy.

Ingredients: 1 cup dry green or brown lentils. 3 cups vegetable broth. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 onion, diced. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 2 carrots, diced. 2 celery stalks, diced. 1 cup frozen peas. 1 teaspoon thyme. 1 teaspoon rosemary. Salt and pepper to taste. 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced. 1/4 cup non-dairy milk. 2 tablespoons vegan butter.

Instructions: Get the oven ready by heating it up to 400F 200C. Put lentils and vegetable broth in a saucepan and mix them together. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and most of the liquid is gone. Warm up the olive oil in a big pan over medium-low heat. Put in the garlic and onion, and cook until the onion is clear. After you add the carrots and celery, cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft. Add the peas, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper after the lentils are cooked. After 5 more minutes of cooking, take the food off the heat. Boil diced potatoes in a different pot until they are soft enough to pierce with a fork. Take it out of the pot and put it back in. Add vegan butter and non-dairy milk to potatoes and mash them until they are smooth and creamy. Put the lentil mix in a baking dish. Cover the whole thing with mashed potatoes. Put it in an oven that is already hot and bake it for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Enjoy while hot!
