  • 1 large onion, diced<\/li>\n
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced<\/li>\n
  • 2 carrots, diced<\/li>\n
  • 2 stalks celery, diced<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup frozen peas<\/li>\n

    Instructions:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C).<\/li>\n
    2. In a large saucepan, combine the lentils and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until lentils are tender.<\/li>\n
    3. Drain the lentils, reserving the cooking liquid.<\/li>\n
    4. In a large skillet, saut\u00e9 the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery in a bit of the reserved cooking liquid or vegetable broth until softened, about 5-7 minutes.<\/li>\n
    5. Add the cooked lentils, frozen peas, tomato paste, thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and set aside.<\/li>\n
    6. In a large pot, cover the quartered potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.<\/li>\n
    7. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the plant-based milk and vegan butter, and mash until smooth and creamy.<\/li>\n
    8. Transfer the lentil mixture to a large baking dish and spread it evenly.<\/li>\n
    9. Top the lentil mixture with the mashed potatoes, spreading them evenly over the top.<\/li>\n
    10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.<\/li>\n
    11. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
