Preparation
Step 1
Peel and dice the onions, carrots, turnip and celery into a large saucepan with a dash of olive oil and on a medium heat.
Step 2
After about 15 minutes and the vegetables have softened considerably, add the lentils and the herbs as well. Add a little bit of hot water and the vegetable stock cube and turn the heat down medium-low. If you are cooking your lentils from dry, you will need to have prepared them already by boiling them.
Step 3
Peel the potatoes and put them in a pan of boiling water. Whilst they are boiling cut up the parsley, separating it from its stems. Once the potatoes are soft to the prick of a fork, but not completely falling apart, drain the water and mash them, adding the parsley and butter as you do this.
Step 4
Place the vegetable mixture in an ovenproof bowl or dish and spread the potatoes over the top. Place the dish into a preheated oven at 180 degrees celsius. Once the top has turned a nice golden brown with darker overtones the dish is ready and can be taken out to cool and be served.
