Lentil Pie

Ingredients:

about 300g red lentils

1 leek, chopped or cut into round slices

1 large carrot, chopped

3 sticks of celery, chopped

water to cook, enough to well cover the lentils

seasalt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

mashed potatoes to top (boiled and mashed up with soya milk, vegan margarine and a little salt - nice with lots of finely chopped parsley through it)

Place the lentils in a saucepan, well covered with water and bring to the boil and then turn down to a simmer. While it is simmering you can prepare the mashed potatoes. Add the vegetables and seasoning to the lentils and cook until tender. Place in large pie or lasange dish and top with the potatoes. Place under the grill until the potatoes are browned. Alternatively you can prepare this in advance and heat the whole thing up in the oven when required.
