Sweet potato cauliflower lentil pie

Ingredients

2 medium sized sweet potato. Peeled and diced

1 Head of cauliflower

1 cup of green/brown lentils

1 bell pepper sliced

1 carrot chopped

2 cups of sliced mushrooms

earth balance butter

Nut Milk/Soy milk

1 onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, diced

 

Instructions

Start cooking lentils first as they take the longest.  Saute in olive oil onion and garlic until tender.  Add bell pepper, carrot and lentils and about 2-3 cups of water. Add salt and pepper to taste.  Leave to cook for about 30-40 minutes until lentils are cooked and liquid has reduced.

Put sweet potatoes to boil

Put cauliflower to steam.  I didnt boil the cauliflower as it retains water and I didnt want a wet mash.  When cauliflower and sweet potato are tender put in food processor add butter and milk according to your own desired consistency and taste.  Add salt and pepper to taste

Saute mushrooms in garlic and olive oil until cooked

Weekly meals

As a vegetarian/vegan this is generally what i eat every week.  It is always quinoa with some sort of peas/beans and a vegetable.  I hate to cook so this is basically what i can handle :-).  I have tried loads of recipes and they have ended up in the bin. Needless to say I basically stick with what I know.
