Ingredients
Scale
- 1x the recipe for mashed potatoes (click on the link for the recipe)
- 400 g (14.1 oz) parsnip
- 400 g (14.1 oz) carrot
- 170 g (6 oz) canned mushrooms
- 180 g (6.3 oz) canned lentils
- 200 ml (6.8 fl. oz) red wine
- 400 g (14.1 oz) diced tomatoes
- 150 ml (5.1 fl. oz) stock (use a low FODMAP stock cube)
- 2 sprigs of rosemary
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 stalks spring onion, the green part only
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp butter or margarine, melted
- Optional: grated cheese to taste
- An ovenproof pan or oven dish.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 F).
- Boil the potatoes for the mashed potatoes (click on the link for the recipe).
- Peel the parsnips and carrots. Cut into cubes.
- Drain and rinse the mushrooms and lentils.
- Heat a splash of olive oil in a Dutch oven (if you don’t have one, you can just use a skillet). Add the parsnip and carrots. Fry for about 5 minutes, until the carrots are soft.
- Add the lentils, mushrooms, red wine, stock, and diced tomatoes. Stir well.
- Strip the rosemary from the sprigs. Add this along with the bay leaf. Cut the spring onion into rings and add this too.
- Add salt and pepper.
- Place the lid on the pan at an angle and let the mixture simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the mashed potatoes according to this recipe.
- Remove the bay leaf from the vegetable mixture.
- Did you not use a Dutch oven? Then put the vegetable mixture in an oven dish. Otherwise, you can leave it in the pan.
- Divide the mashed potatoes over the vegetable mixture.
- Melt the butter in the microwave or in a saucepan. Spread over the mashed potatoes with a brush.
- Optional: Sprinkle with grated cheese to taste. I really like grated cheddar cheese with this dish.
- Place the shepherd’s pie in the oven for 20 minutes. Garnish with some spring onion rings and rosemary and serve.
