2 garlic cloves, minced
1 ½ cups fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels
1 cup fresh or thawed frozen green peas
1 cup cooked fresh or frozen lima beans
2 cups cooked or BPA-free canned or Tetra Pak salt-free brown lentils
1 cup Light Vegetable Broth
8 ounces mushrooms of choice, chopped
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons salt-free tomato paste
1 tablespoon white miso paste
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Sweet Potato Mash:
Place the sweet potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with water.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender (about 10-15 minutes).
Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot.
Mash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher or fork until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the onion powder and ground black pepper. Set aside.
Filling:
In a large skillet, sauté the chopped red onion and carrot over medium heat until softened (about 5 minutes).
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the corn, green peas, lima beans, and chopped mushrooms. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Add the cooked brown lentils to the skillet and mix well with the vegetables.
Pour in the Light Vegetable Broth and let it simmer for a few minutes until everything is heated through.
Stir in the nutritional yeast, salt-free tomato paste, white miso paste, and minced thyme. Mix thoroughly, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat.
Assembling the Cottage Pie:
Transfer the filling mixture into a large baking dish or individual ramekins for personal servings.
Spread the sweet potato mash evenly over the top of the filling.
Baking:
Place the baking dish(es) in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potato mash forms a light golden crust on top.
