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

Directions

Step 1

Peel and quarter the potatoes. Boil them in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 20 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and milk, then mash until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Chop the onion, carrots, and celery finely. Mince the garlic.

Step 5

Add the chopped onions, carrots, and celery to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic, cooked lentils, tomato paste, and stir for 2 minutes.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Sprinkle the top with grated parmesan cheese.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.

Step 11

Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Vegetarian Hachis Parmentier!
