Ingredients
- 4 large potato
- 1 large red onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2.5 cups chestnut mushrooms chopped
- 2 cups red lentils
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 cup cashew milk
- 2.5 cups broccoli chopped
- 5 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2.5 cups spinach leaves
To serve
- 2 avocado medium
- lime juice of 1

Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 200 degrees C/392 F. Bake the potatoes for 45-50 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes.
- Add the red onion, garlic and garlic powder to a non-stick saucepan on a medium-high heat and stir for 2-3 minutes, until translucent. Add the mushrooms and continue stirring for around 4 minutes more.
- Lower the heat and add the red lentils and cover with water, but be sure not to pour in too much. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Simmer on a low-medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding more water when necessary. Around 10 minutes into the cooking process, pour in the cashew milk.
- At the last minute, stir in the broccoli, nutritional yeast and spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts and the broccoli softens slightly.
- To make the avocado sauce, mash the avocados using a fork in a mixing bowl with lime juice, seasoning to taste with salt.
- Serve the potatoes with the lentil filling, avocado sauce, fresh sweetcorn and alfalfa sprouts. The lentil filling can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container.
