Not Shepherd's Pie

This will make 4 servings


9oz brown lentils
2 bay leaves
2 chopped onions
2 or 3 sliced carrots
1 tbsp oil
1 small tin baked beans
1 dessertspoon of brown sauce or branston pickle
2 lbs potatoes, boiled and mashed
A little margarine/butter
Salt & pepper

Rinse lentils and put them in a sausepan with bay leaves and cover with water so that it's half an inch above the lentils. Bring to boil and allow to simmer, adding in more water during cooking if necessary.

Meanwhile heat the oil in another pan. Fry the onions for 5 mins then add the carrots and fry for a further 5 mins. Tip in the lentils and the water in with the vegetables and simmer everything together until lentils are cooked (further 35 mins).

Mix the baked beans and the brown sauce or pickle into the cooked lentil mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. Put the mixture into a casserole dish and cover with the mashed potato. Dot the top with margarine/butter and put into an oven on gas mark 5/6 for 25 mins or put under the grill untill the top has browned.

If you can take fish then I heartely recommend Monkfish (which has a very meaty flavour), a bit of risotto or flavoured rice maybe.

Agreed.

Stupid fish though, you ony eat the tail.
