Ingredients

6 servings

For the mashed potato topping

2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
3 tbsp vegan butter
½ cup plant-based milk, warmed
¾ tsp salt, divided
¼ tsp black pepper

For the filling

2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup dry green or brown lentils, rinsed
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup frozen peas
1 tbsp vegan worcestershire sauce
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves or ½ tsp dried thyme
1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped, or ½ tsp dried rosemary
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For serving

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold salted water by 1 inch, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the potatoes are completely tender and a fork slides through without resistance, about 15–18 minutes. Drain well.
2
Return the drained potatoes to the pot and mash with the vegan butter and warmed plant-based milk until smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining. Season with 3/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Set aside.
