Spiced Mushroom & Lentil Shepherd's Pie

Inspired by the British classic, this oven-baked beauty makes sure you get a solid serving of pulses. A rich filling of lentils, umami-packed mushrooms and warming spices is topped with a fluffy potato–hummus mash. The hummus keeps things creamy and light, without needing butter. Serve with peas or a crisp green salad and call it comfort food, done right.

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 50 g tomato paste
  • 2½ tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2½ tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tsp cumin seeds, lightly crushed
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tbsp chipotle paste
  • Leaves from 2 rosemary sprigs, finely chopped
  • 750 g chestnut mushrooms, roughly chopped
  • 1 kg potatoes, peeled and cut into 2–3 cm pieces
  • 2 cans (400 g each) Amaizin lentils, rinsed and drained
  • 200 g passata
  • 200 g hummus (homemade or organic)

The recipe

Let's start cooking

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, tomato paste, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, spices, garlic, chipotle paste and rosemary with ¼ tsp salt.
  3. Pulse the mushrooms in batches in a food processor until you have pieces of about ½ cm. Add them to the bowl, toss well, then spread out in a large oven dish (about 30 x 25 cm). Cover with foil and roast for 30 minutes, stirring halfway.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in salted water for 12–16 minutes until tender.
  5. Remove the mushrooms from the oven and lower the temperature to 200°C. Stir in the lentils, passata and ¼ tsp salt. Roast uncovered for 20 minutes until most of the liquid has cooked away.
  6. Drain the potatoes, reserving a cup of the cooking water. Add the hummus and mash until smooth. Loosen with 50–75 ml of the reserved water. Season to taste.
  7. Spoon the mash over the mushroom and lentil filling and gently fluff the top with a fork. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes until lightly golden. If needed, finish with the grill for 1–2 minutes.
