Delicious Lentil Shepherd’s Pie perfect for this time of the year!

It’s incredibly easy to make and trust me this will be a massive hit with family and friends.

What you’re going to love is that it’s:

  • Hearty
  • Warming
  • Healthy
  • Under £10
  • Flavourful
  • Versatile
  • & Delicious!

This Lentil Shepherd’s pie really gives you that comforting feel you want from a simple healthy dinner during the colder months.

It will also easily feed  4 for under £10!

Using these simple ingredients it’s the best vegan and gluten free shepherd’s pie you’ll make!

Lentil Shepherds Pie Ingredients

This plant-based lentil sauce is adapted from my Speedy Lentil Bolognese which even has a recipe video you can watch.

It’s absolutely packed full of flavour and given a real meaty texture from the lentils.

Lentils are a great source of protein and can be a great alternative to meat such as beef.

Now onto one of the best parts… topping with the mash of course!

I decided to use white potatoes this time but this recipe is so versatile you could even use pumpkin for some halloween vibes, sweet potato or butternut squash if you wanted to.

I keep the skin on for speed and a slightly more rustic look and then simply mash with olive oil but vegan butter would also work well.

If you’re like me then you just LOVE the crunchy bits and I’m definitely one to “tidy” up the edges in the dish afterwards just for them!

If you wanted to change this from being a vegan recipe you could easily swap the lentils for beef if you wish.

Now a close up to make you drool even more before I share the recipe with you.
