Steps to make Vegan Lentil Shepard's Pie:
  1. Soak the dried mushrooms in cold water. Meanwhile peel and chop the potatoes into large-ish chunks (I usually aim for the size of my thumb).
  2. Place a large pan on the hob and add the stock powder and water to make a vegetable stock. Bring to the boil and add the potatoes. Cover and leave on the boil until they are soft which should take about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Dice the shallot and garlic. In a large pan (I used a wide-frying pan) add the oil and add the shallots. Cook over a medium heat until they are translucent, then add the garlic.
  4. Peel and grate the carrots and add to the shallots. Then add the spices. Cook for a minute and add the passata or chopped tomatoes.
  5. Drain and dice the dried mushrooms into thin pieces. Add to the pan along with the lentils. I didn't drain the lentils and added the water straight to the pan. Season the pan with the sugar, soy-sauce, stock powder and your chosen amount of salt and pepper. If the mix looks dry then add more water, you could even add some tablespoons of the stock water the potatoes have been cooked in to the pan. Leave to simmer on a medium to low heat for 10 minutes.
  6. Don't throw the stock the potatoes have been cooked in! Instead either drain into another pan, or take some out (about 100ml) of the pan before draining. Mash the potatoes with the vegan butter, salt and pepper and the stock water you didn't throw away to the desired consistency.
  7. Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6. Take a large, deep, oven-proof baking dish and spoon the lentil mixture into the base. Top with the mashed potatoes. The best way to spoon the mash onto the lentils is to add quite a large spoonful on top and smooth it out with a butterknife or the back of a spoon. Add all the mash until the lentil layer is covered.
  8. Smooth the potato down and then use a fork to score it (this helps it go crispy in the fridge). Top with the vegan cheese. Bake in the oven for 20-30 mins until golden-brown. Enjoy!
