Lentil Shepherd's Pie
Report
Lentil Shepherd's Pie or Lentil Cottage Pie, a delicious vegetarian pie topped with creamy mashed potatoes and baked until golden. The lentils make the pie filling and nutritious, and this pie can be turned into a vegan dish by swapping the butter and cream in the mash with a plant-based cream and milk.
