Sweet Potato & Lentil Cottage Pie
This is a great recipe for a sharing-style dinner on a cold evening, or if you're looking to have leftovers the next day. We love to enjoy this dish with a side of fresh green salad and some roasted long-stem broccoli.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place a large pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once warm, add the onion, garlic and a pinch of salt; cook for 5–⏱️ 10 minutes until soft.
2
Once soft, add the sliced mushrooms, cumin and paprika; cook for ⏱️ 10 minutes until the mushrooms soften and reduce in size.
3
Add the lentils, tomato purée and vegetable stock. Mix well and cook until the water has disappeared. At this point, add the tinned tomatoes and cook for another 30–⏱️ 40 minutes until the lentils feel soft. If they don't feel soft yet, cook for a little longer adding a dash of water every time the mixture feels as if it is getting too thick.
4
While the lentils are cooking, place a large pan over medium heat and fill with boiling water. Once bubbling, add the sweet potatoes and carrots and cook for 15–⏱️ 20 minutes until the sweet potatoes feel soft. Once soft, drain the water and place the sweet potatoes and carrots back into the pan.

Preheat the oven to 200°C / 180°C fan / 400°F.
7
Once the base mixture is a thick, sauce-like consistency and the lentils feel soft, spoon it into the bottom of a casserole dish (we use a 26cm / 10″ shallow dish). Spoon the mash over the top and smooth over using the back of a wooden spoon. For a nice effect, we like to make even lines across the top using a fork.

Cook for 10–⏱️ 15 minutes until the top is golden and delicious.
