Vegan shepherds pie

This is my remix on a Shepherds pie – it’s pretty inauthentic but it’s a firm favourite!

A traditional shepherds pie is made with lamb mince, fried onion and gravy, topped with mashed potato. It might have a small amount of peas or finely diced carrots in it.

This recipe is vegan, using puy lentils instead of meat and with the addition of red pepper to add a little sweetness. Miss it out if you like or use this recipe as a basis for anything that needs using up in the vegetable rack.
