Shepherd’s Pie
Cook the potatoes unpeeled in plenty of salted water. Also, cook the lentils as stated on the package. Finely chop the onions and garlic. Half the carrots and the leek lengthwise and chop them, quarter the champignons. Grind the mustard seed in the mortar.
In a roasting dish or stewpot, heat canola oil and roast onions, garlic, and tomato paste for 1-2 minutes. Add carrots, leek, and champignons and roast for another 2-3 minutes. Deglaze with red wine vinegar and vegetable broth, and stir in the molasses and the ground mustard seeds. Add the lentils and dried herbs, and thoroughly season the vegetables with salt.
Peel the boiled potatoes and press them through the potato ricer. Into the puree, mix in mustard, walnut oil, and nut milk, and season with salt. Spread the potato puree over the vegetables in the roasting dish and sprinkle with walnut oil to get a crunchy crust.
Bake the casserole in the pre-heated oven at 180°C for 30 minutes. Add the grill function and bake for another 15 minutes until the casserole turns golden yellow.
