Description

This lamb and lentil shepherd's pie is just as delicious as the original with extra goodness and heartiness from lentils.

Method

Step 1 of 4

Heat the oil in a large, non-stick pan on medium heat and cook the onions, thyme and carrots for 5 minutes, stirring. Stir in the garlic and mince and cook for 4-5 minutes.

Step 2 of 4

Stir in the chopped tomatoes, lentils and stock and partially cover with the lid. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes until the lentils are tender.

Step 3 of 4

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C. Cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling water for 8-10 minutes, until tender. Drain well, mash and stir in the quark.

Step 4 of 4

Pour the mince into an ovenproof dish, smooth mash on top and bake for 30 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
