Shepherd's pie is one of my favorite things, right up there with Biscuits and Gravy and plain old mashed potatoes with corn mixed together, so I am particularly happy to share this recipe with those who love a Shepherd's pie!
It's only 3 WeightWatchers Smart Points per serving and a serving size is 1/6 of the pie!! The great news is that this freezes well and leftovers taste better the following day!
Lentils are high in protein and fiber!
Ingredients:
1 Tbs olive oil
1 (8-oz) package pre-sliced cremini mushrooms
2 (9-oz) packages steamed lentils*
1-1/2 c. frozen peas and carrots, thawed
1-1/2 c. low-sodium organic vegetable broth
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 (20-oz) package frozen mashed cauliflower w/olive oil & sea salt
chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional)
*If like me you are unable to find steamed lentils, just cook up your own following package directions. You will only need about 8 oz or half of a package of a 16-oz bag of dried lentils.
Instructions:
- 1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over med-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook stirring occasionally until browned and tender, about 8 minutes. And preheat the oven broiler!
- Stir in lentils and peas and carrots and cook until thoroughly heated, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in broth, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Cook until the liquid is slightly reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to an 11- x 7-inch (2-quart) broiler-safe baking dish.
- Microwave the mashed cauliflower according to package directions and spoon over the top of the mushroom-lentil mixture.
- Place in oven to broil with rack about 6" from heat source until lightly browned, about 5-8 minutes. Sprinkled with optional chives or parsley and serve!
