Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes
  • 1 large red onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp garlic power
  • 2.5 cups chestnut mushrooms chopped
  • 2 cups red lentils
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup cashew milk
  • 2.5 cups broccoli chopped
  • 5 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2.5 cups spinach leaves
To serve
  • 2 medium avocados
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • sea salt to taste
  • fresh sweet corn
  • alfalfa sprouts

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat an oven to 200 degrees C/392 F. Bake the potatoes for 45-50 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. 
  2. 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. 
  3. 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. 
  4. 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. 
  5. At the last minute, stir in the broccoli, nutritional yeast and spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts and the broccoli softens slightly. 
  6. To make the avocado sauce, mash the avocados using a fork in a mixing bowl with lime juice, seasoning to taste with salt. 
  7. 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.
