Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium potatoes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 cups cooked lentils
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon rosemary
- 1 bay leaf
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
Peel and quarter the potatoes. Boil them in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and milk, then mash until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Chop the onion, carrots, and celery finely. Mince the garlic.
Add the chopped onions, carrots, and celery to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, cooked lentils, tomato paste, and stir for 2 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth, then add thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Stir well and let simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken. Remove the bay leaf.
Transfer the lentil mixture to a baking dish and spread it evenly. Top with the mashed potatoes, spreading them out to cover the lentils completely.
Sprinkle the top with grated parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Vegetarian Hachis Parmentier!
