Instructions

1 Cook lentils in plenty of water until tender – approximately 40 minutes. Reserve 3/4 cup cooking liquid.

2 Place potatoes in a saucepan of cold water and bring to the boil. Simmer until tender, then drain and mash with milk, butter, salt and pepper.

3 While potatoes are cooking, sauté onion and garlic in oil, stir in flour and then, using a whisk, add cooking liquid from lentils a little at a time, mixing well after each addition.

4 Stir in sauces and seasoning, herbs and lentils and lastly add mixed vegetables. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

5 Pour mixture into an ovenproof dish and top with prepared mashed potato, swirling with a fork to make spiral patterns on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 200ºC for 20 minutes or until golden and crispy on top.

Make it dairy-free: Substitute butter with olive spread and use soy milk to mash spuds.
