Step 1

Prepare the Lentils: Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 2

Add lentils, vegetable broth, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until lentils are tender.

Step 3

While the lentils simmer, prepare the potatoes: Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

Step 4

Mash the potatoes: Add plant-based milk and vegan butter to the potatoes and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 6

Assemble the Pie: Stir cooked mushrooms into the lentil mixture. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Top with mashed potatoes, spreading evenly.

Step 7

Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.

Step 8

Serve hot.

You can use any type of mushrooms you like, such as cremini, shiitake, or portobello.

If you don't have vegetable broth, you can use water and add 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce.

Step 12

For a richer flavor, add a few tablespoons of nutritional yeast to the mashed potatoes.
