vegetarian shepherd's pie

Since we had boiled dinner over the weekend but wanted an Irish inspired dish for St. Patrick's Day I decided to try a vegetarian shepherd's pie. 

Ingredients

mashed potatoes

lentils

bay leaf

olive oil

garlic

onion

carrots

peas 

corn

kale

mushrooms

Worchestershire sauce

parsley

oregano

cayenne pepper - just a pinch 

If you don't already have mashed potatoes start by making them. 

Cook lentils with a bay leaf until just tender and drain any extra water off and remove bay leaf

Sautee in olive oil the onion and garlic, then add mushrooms and kale, chopped small and cook down

Turn off heat add carrots, peas, corn, lentils and seasoning and mix together

Put vegetable mix in the bottom of a baking dish and layer mashed potatoes on top then bake at 350 for about 30 minutes until warm and potatoes just start to brown.
