Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
- Prepare lentils according to package directions (generally 1 cup dried lentils to 3 cups liquid - I like to use vegetable stock and add a little extra salt!). Set aside once cooked and drained.
- In a large stock pot, add cauliflower and water to top. Bring to a boil and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a cast iron skillet (or other oven-safe skillet), melt butter over medium heat. Add celery and carrots, cook for 2 minutes. Add garlic and continue to cooke for 2-3 minutes. Add in wine/stock to deglaze pan. Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire, parsley, oregano, thyme, cayenne, and salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in frozen peas, corn, and pearl onions. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Add drained lentils, stir to combine.
- Add yogurt, milk, and butter to cauliflower. Using an immersion blender (or blender, or food processor to blend together until no lumps remain. Stir in parmesan. Add salt to taste.
- Spread cauliflower mash on top of vegetable mix in the oven-safe skillet. Use the back of a spoon to add any desired designs. Bake for 30-35 minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes if you want the top darker.
Notes
- If you don't have a cast iron skillet, use another oven-safe pan, or transfer to a casserole dish.
- You may need to add a little extra liquid to your cauliflower mash, depending on the size of the cauliflower you use. You want it to be moist, as it will dry out a bit during the baking process.
- *Look for cheese specifically labeled vegetarian, if needed.
