Gardener's Pie image

I got this recipe out of the guidebook supplied in the 'Quick Cleanse 15 day detox'. This is like a vegetarian shepherds pie. I usually make it without the mushrooms (don't like them) and add some zucchini or whatever is on hand. I also tend to use red lentils because they don't need to be soaked. Prep time does not include time taken for soaking the lentils.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup brown lentils
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 cup mushroom, sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 cup carrot, finely sliced
1/2 cup broccoli floret
1 tablespoon sodium-free vegetable seasoning
1 tablespoon sodium-free tamari
3/4 cup sodium-free vegetable stock
1 teaspoon mixed herbs
1/2 teaspoon oregano
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 1/2 cups mashed potatoes

Steps:

  • Soak the lentils for 2 hours or overnight, drain and rinse.
  • Add fresh water and bring to the boil in a large saucepan with the onion powder.
  • Simmer 15 minutes or until tender. Drain.
  • Heat oil in a large saucepan and saute onion, garlic and mushrooms for 5 minutes.
  • Add remaining vegetables and saute a further 5 minutes.
  • Add lentils, seasoning, tamari, vegetable stock, herbs and tomato paste.
  • Stir over heat until combined and simmer 5 minutes. Mixture should be fairly thick.
  • Turn into a 5cm deep dish, top with mashed potato.
  • If you're not a strict vegetarian sprinkle some grated cheese on top.
  • Mark attractively with a fork and brown in a hot oven 15 minutes.
  • Serve with side salad or vegetables.

I would recommend this recipe to others, but I would suggest making a few changes to it first.

Overall, I thought this pie was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

The filling in this pie was a bit watery. I think it could have been cooked down a bit more.

The crust on this pie was a bit too thick for my liking. I think it would have been better with a thinner crust.

This pie was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning.

I made a few changes to the recipe, but it still turned out great. I used a pre-made pie crust, and I added some chopped carrots and celery to the filling.

I've made this pie several times now, and it's always a winner. It's easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover vegetables.

This gardeners' pie was a hit with my family! The veggies were tender and flavorful, and the cheese topping was perfectly gooey. I will definitely be making this again.
