sheep lover's pie

i can't really remember what i put in this, but it was delicious and this was the general direction of the recipe. this is such a deeply satisfying dish!

1c cooked lentils
1c TVP (soaked in 2c boiling water for 5 minutes)
optional: vege sausages, chopped in to 1cm chunks

0.5c each finely chopped carrot, celery
1 small leek or half a small onion
3 cloves of crushed garlic
dry herbs (oregano, parsley, sage)
salt, pepper to taste
olive oil
2Tbs plain flour or cornflour
0.5-1c vegetable stock mixed with 0.25c red wine
1 tin (450g) tin tomatos or equivalent of passata

1c frozen peas

mashed potato

fry the carrot, celery, leek/onion and garlic for 5 minutes on low-medium heat. add 2Tbs extra oil, then flour. fry for 1 minute, then whisk the stock and wine a little at a time until thick. add more flour and liquid, continuing to whisk to make a thick gravy.

add tomato and lentils/TVP/sausage and peas. put in casserole dish, top with potato and bake for 15 minutes.
