Ingredients
For the Lentils
- 1 c lentils,
- 2 c water
- 2 bay leaves
For the Potatoes
- 2 lb russet potatoes,
- ½ c milk
- ½ tsp lemon juice
- ¼ c sour cream
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp minced garlic
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
Putting It All Together
- 1 tsp unsalted butter
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 1 c corn, thawed if frozen
- 1 c peas, thawed if frozen
- 1 (4oz) can sliced mushrooms, drained
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce*
- 1 Tbsp parsley
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp oregano
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, mix lentils with 2 c water and bay leaves. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered over low heat until lentils are tender and most of the water has been absorbed, 15-20 min.
- Peel potatoes and cut into ½ - 1 inch cubes. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer over medium heat 10-15 minutes, until tender when pricked with a fork.
- When the potatoes are done, drain the liquid, reserving about one cup.
- Add milk, lemon juice, sour cream, garlic, salt, and nutmeg to the drained potatoes. Whip potatoes with an electric hand mixer until smooth, adding reserved liquid if necessary.
- In a large, non-stick skillet with high sides heat butter. Add onions and sauté until soft. Add carrots and sauté an additional 5 minutes, until carrots begin to soften. Add corn, peas, mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings. Mix and heat through.
- When mixture is heated and carrots are soft, add cooked lentils and mix well.
- Preheat your oven's broiler to medium.
- Grease an 8x8 oven-safe baking dish. Spread lentil mixture into the baking dish. Top with mashed potatoes.
- Place dish into the oven and broil for 5-10 minutes, until the top is golden.
Notes
- *Omit Worcestershire sauce if following a strict vegetarian diet. Replace with 1 tsp white vinegar, 1/2 tsp molasses, and a pinch of sugar.
