About the Recipe: Give this classic recipe a plant-based style using hearty lentils and soft “mashed potato” textured cauliflower topping. Prepare it ahead and refrigerate it for easier slicing and serving. Warm in the microwave until hot.
Recipe Inspired by: Vasudha Viswanath, The Vegetarian Reset, The Collective Book Studio, 2023. Shepherd’s Pie p. 110.
Cook’s Note: I prepared the cooked cauliflower in my microwave to limit the number of pots used for the recipe. It can also be cooked on the stove top.
To Assemble the Pie, spoon lentils evenly into prepared pan; spoon mashed cauliflower over the top; spread into an even layer with a spatula or butter knife to cover the filling.
Bake in preheated 350 degrees F. oven for 15-20 minutes or until top is browned in spots or if desired, broil for a minute to brown the top quicker.
Serve hot.
Yield: serves 4
