Directions

  • Melt 2 tablespoonsful of vegan butter in a large pan. Add the garlic, onion, carrots, celery, bay leaves, and a pinch of salt. Fry over medium-high heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the mushrooms and fry for 5 minutes more.
  • Add the wine, stock, tomato purée, mustard, miso, herbs, soy sauce, kelp, sugar, liquid smoke, vegan Worcestershire sauce, and lentils. Stir well. Cook over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes.
  • Turn the heat to low and cover the pan. Simmer for 30 minutes, until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat, season to taste, and stir in the nutritional yeast.
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C.
  • Peel the potatoes and chop into largechunks. Boil in salted water until soft.
  • Drain and mash. Add the soya milk, the remaining vegan butter, and a pinch of salt and whip until creamy.
  • Remove the bay leaves from the lentil mixture, pour into a pie dish, and top with the mash. Bake for 30 minutes, until golden-brown and bubbling.
