Ingredients
Potatoes
- 2 lbs redskin potatoes, scrubbed and chopped into small pieces
- 3 tablespoon vegan butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
Filling
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 2 cups lentils, canned, rinsed, and drained
- 1 cup peas, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup corn, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup green beans, chopped; fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Add potatoes to a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and simmer until potatoes are fork tender, about 10–15 minutes.
- Drain potatoes and add vegan butter and salt, then mash until mostly smooth (some lumps are okay).
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Then add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery and cook until tender, about 6–8 minutes.
- Add the lentils, peas, corn, green beans, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, thyme, and salt and mix well. Allow to cook an additional 2–3 minutes.
- Whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl to form a slurry mixture. Add the cornstarch slurry to the lentil mixture.
- Add the vegetable stock to the lentil mixture, and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer for a few more minutes until thickened.
- Transfer the lentil filling to a large casserole dish.
- Spoon potatoes over the top and smooth down, using a fork to create ridges.
- Bake in preheated oven 35–45 minutes or until filling is bubbly and potatoes are starting to turn golden brown.
Notes
- You can assemble this pie in advance and bake it when you're ready to eat it.
- You can also use 4 cups of frozen veggie mix (with carrots, corn, peas, and green beans) to cut down on prep time.
- I left the potato skins on for a more rustic type of dish, but you can peel them if you prefer or even use a different type of potato.
