Sheperd's Pie

Ingredients

LENTIL FILLING
1 medium onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
Brown or green lentils (1.5 cups uncooked) (3.75 cups cooked)
Vegetable stock (4 cups in using uncooked lentils, slurry if using cooked lentils)
2 tsp fresh thyme (or sub 1 tsp dried thyme per 2 tsp fresh)
1 10-ounce bag frozen mixed veggies (283 grams / 1.25 cups) (peas, carrots, green beans, corn)
Olive oil
also... corn starch to thicken! and mushrooms are a great addition
CRUST
Shortcrust Pastry [link]
MASHED POTATOES
Mashed Potatoes [link]

Method

Prepare the mashed potatoes.
Sauté onions and garlic in olive oil, until lightly browned and caramelized.
Add a pinch each salt and pepper.
Add lentils, stock, and thyme. Cook until combined, or if using uncooked lentils, cook until lentils are done, about 30 - 40 minutes.
Try: add Mushroom crisps [link]?
Optional, to try: rather than thicken the whole mix, set aside a third of it, blend it with an immersion blender, and thicken that. Idea is to allow a mix to set, while retaining most of the lentil and vegetable texture.
Optional: to thicken the mixture, add 2 - 3 tbsp mashed potatoes and stir. Or, separate out a small amount of the mixture off-heat, add in 2 tbsp corn starch (or more? i think i used almost 1/3 cup), combine, and add back to the main mixture.
Roll out the pastry, place in pie plate.
Chill the prepared pie crust.
Preheat oven to 350˚F.
Add lentil mixture to pie crust, and let settle for a second. Carefully spoon mashed potatoes over top, spreading with a spoon or fork.
Bake for 35 - 45 minutes, until the mashed potatoes are lightly browned on top.
Let cool.
