Ingredients
1 cup green/brown lentils
1 large onion
2 garlic cloves
1 tbsp dried mixed herbs
1 carrot
1 zucchini
1 corn cob niblets
6 button mushrooms
Handful parsley
6 medium potatoes
1/4 cup milk of choice
1-2 tbsp olive oil
Handful grated goats cheddar
Quality sea salt & pepper
Water
Vegetable Stock

Method
Boil lentils in 4 cups water until soft (add more water if needed) – approx 30 minutes

Peel and large cube potatoes and bring to boil with enough water to cover and cook until soft (ie. To make mash potato)

Chop onion and garlic and fry with dried herbs in oil until soft. Cook off diced carrot. Add zucchini, corn, mushrooms and cook until soft. Add in cooked lentils. Cook together and add a little vegetable stock (or water) to create a gravy. Turn off heat, season and add chopped parsley.

Mash cooked potatoes with a little olive oil, milk and seasoning.

Layer lentil mix in ceramic baking tray then add potatoes on top in one layer. Add cheese and bake in moderate oven for 15 mins then on high for 5mins to brown the cheese or under grill for a couple of minutes (careful not to burn the top).
