   Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

   Přibližně 5 min

2. 2

   Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water.

   Poznámka kuchaře: Adding salt to the water helps season the potatoes from the inside out.

3. 3

   Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.

   Přibližně 20 min

4. 4

   While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.

   Poznámka kuchaře: Ensure your skillet is oven-safe for easy transfer later.

5. 5

   Add the onion, carrot, and celery to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.

   Přibližně 7 min

6. 6

   Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

   Přibližně 1 min

   Poznámka kuchaře: Be careful not to burn the garlic.

7. 7

   Add the lentils, vegetable broth, tomato paste, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and vegan worcestershire sauce to the skillet.

8. 8

   Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

   Přibližně 25 min

   Poznámka kuchaře: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan.

9. 9

   Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot.

    Add the unsweetened plant milk, vegan butter, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes.

    Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

    Přibližně 3 min

    Once the lentil filling is cooked, stir in the frozen peas.

13. 13

    Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the lentil mixture in the skillet.

    Přibližně 2 min

    Poznámka kuchaře: You can use a fork to create ridges on top for extra crispiness.

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
