COMMENTS:

This is truly one of my favourite meals and its really filling, nutrient and protein-rich as well as healthy and tasty. It is nice to make a batch and then store it in glass containers or lunch boxes to eat throughout the week or even take to work or school.

LENTIL SHEPARDS PIE:

If you want a fancy dinner dish you can also cook up some extra potatoes, add plant-based milk and mash them. Then put the mashed potatoes in a-oven-save dish on top of the lentil dish and bake it in the oven. This way you have made a Lentil Shepard’s pie.
