Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375º F
  • Scrub and then finely chop all vegetables.  Leave the skins on for extra nutrients. Sauté with herbs in olive oil until soft.
  • Take off heat and add vegetable stock and the lentils.
  • Spoon the filling into a casserole dish (will yield too much filling for a pie plate)

Make the Pastry

  • To make the pastry mix the shortening into the dry ingredients
  • Add the mashed potato, mixing together with a little cold water. It should make a nice easy-to-roll dough.
  • Roll out the pastry and cover, sealing the edges of the pie with a fork.
  • Bake for 45 minutes and serve hot.

Notes

Use whatever vegetables have on hand.
