Inspired by traditional cottage and shepherd's pies, this vegan version uses lentils and imitation ground meat. It's topped with sweet potatoes, and cooked and baked in a Dutch oven to optimize flavor, streamline the method, and reduce cleanup. Leftovers are wonderful.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1-inch rounds. Place on the prepared baking sheet and brush with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in onion, then add the beef substitute, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Use a wooden spoon to break the beef substitute up further while sauteing and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add frozen peas and carrots, cooked lentils, vegetable broth, tomato paste, and yeast extract; mix until well combined and bring to a simmer. Simmer until thickened, about 5 more minutes, or until sweet potato topping is ready. Season with salt and pepper; it will be soupy.
- Remove sweet potatoes from the oven and transfer to a mixing bowl. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Mash sweet potatoes, and drizzle in remaining olive oil and almond milk. Whisk energetically with a fork, or use a stand mixer or hand mixer to fluff up the potatoes.
- Remove the Dutch oven from the stovetop and spread sweet potato mixture evenly over top.
- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until bubbly and sweet potato topping has browned, about 35 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

SHAWARMA SPICED SHEPHERDS COTTAGE PIE
I got this recipe from a local hole in the wall Lebanese restaurant and tweaked it a bit. Best of both the sweet and savory worlds. As a time saver I keep a jar of this spice blend (Shawarma spice blend) on hand and just measure out 2 1/2 tsp of the combined mixture in order to make this recipe. For the frozen vegetables I use a combo of corn, peas, green beans and carrots.

Tips:
- Choose the right ground meat: For a classic cottage pie, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. However, you can also use all beef, all pork, or a mixture of ground lamb and beef.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the meat, do it in batches if necessary. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the meat from browning properly.
- Cook the vegetables until they are tender: The vegetables should be cooked until they are soft, but not mushy. This will help to ensure that the cottage pie has a good texture.
- Use a good quality gravy: The gravy is what really makes the cottage pie. Use a gravy that is flavorful and has a good consistency.
- Top the cottage pie with mashed potatoes: The mashed potatoes are the perfect topping for a cottage pie. They are creamy and fluffy, and they help to absorb the gravy.
