Serves 2
Ingredients for filling
- 1 TBS extra virgin olive oil
- 1 brown onion chopped finely
- 1 ½ cups of mushrooms chopped
- 1 zucchini diced small
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- Good pinch oregano
- 2 tsps. dried thyme
- Celtic Sea salt
- 1 cup carrots diced
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- ¾ cup lentils (rinsed)
- 3 cups vegetable stock (sugar and additive free)
- 1 TBS wheat free tamari
- ½ cup frozen or fresh peas
Ingredients for Cauliflower Mash
- 1 cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 TBS butter
- 1 TBS nutritional yeast flakes
Cauliflower mash method
- Put the florets in a steamer over a saucepan of simmering water and cook, covered, until tender — the florets can be verging on soft, but shouldn’t be falling apart.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a blender or food processor and add butter, yeast flakes, a pinch of sea salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
- Blend until smooth.
Potty Pies Method
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius
- Make cauliflower mash and let stand
- Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat
- Add the onions, and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes
- Add the mushrooms, zucchini, garlic, oregano, thyme, and season and cook for 5 mins
- Add carrots, lentils and stock. Cover and bring to a boil, then lower heat and cook for 20 minutes until stock has evaporated, then stir in tamari, and peas
- Transfer mixture to individual pie dishes
- Gently spoon the pre made cauliflower mash over the top, scraping a fork across the surface to create little trenches in the mash.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the mash has a crispy top
- Remove the pie from the oven
- Yum, Yum! Enjoy!!
