Lentil Shepherd's Pie (Meat-Free Comfort Food)

[@avuncular300]

Made mine last night for tonight's dinner, but had a taste before topping. Was very nice indeed, but I forgot the frozen peas, but will have those separately with my meal. Vegetarian cottage pie is one of my staples and I usully use a vegetarian mince like Quorn for mine. But yours tastes nicer and is more economical, so in future, I will stick with the lentils. So glad to have found your channel. Thank you.

[@HowToCookSmarter]

Thank you so much dear Rexy, I loveee your comments! I usually have it with beef, but lentils turned out just fine as substitute. Looking forward to your Q&A video. Have an awesome day my friend!

[@camillarhodes2311]

I love your recipes!

[@t.cobbseats8765]

Hey Sasha, thank you for a great Shepard's Pie recipe. Great tip on using green lentils instead of red, very helpful. Great work again Sasha, and have a good one!

[@HowToCookSmarter]

Thanks a lot Taylor, I'm really glad you like the recipe! I love cooking using red lentils too, but mostly for soups and curries. Have a great day you too my friend!

[@Eleidig007]

Im making this, without the wine ,olive oil instead of butter, and cauliflower instead of potatoes ❤. Came out so good

[@AlyenasKitchen]

Wow!! I think this is the first time I've heard you speak on a video! You have a great accent! Garlic mashed potatoes on top sounds so delicious! Also with the Greek yogurt! The fork score (makes it looks so pretty too) and the not using red lentils is a great tip! Thank you for this super delicious vegetarian shepherd's pie! 🌼😊🌷

[@HowToCookSmarter]

Thank you so much dear Alyena, your words of support means a lot! Well, I thought I would be able to connect better with my audience this way, by doing a voice-over. To be honest, I love creating my videos even more now. Veggie Shepherd's pie was really good. Is there something you prefer to cook with lentils?

[@simplynatalies]

I love lentil! pie looks yummy my friend. Perfect for fall! thanks for sharing comfort food recipe. hope you have a wonderful day dear!

[@HowToCookSmarter]

Thanks Natasha! I agree, it's perfect for upcoming cold days. Lately I've been all about the lentils. What do you like to cook with lentils?

[@vsoraya]

It is only getting better...You are the best!!!!! Thank You for this amazing recipe 😍❤💯

[@janegallagher6162]

Made this yesterday, simply yum.

[@LydiaApril]

Looks so good. I love anything with lentils even though I never had Shepard pie I'd love to try it

[@HowToCookSmarter]

Thanks a lot Lyds! Same here, in last couple of months I've got obsessed with lentils, I tried different recipes, from soups to burgers, and the thing is lentils made me eat less meat in general. Is there one lentil recipe that stands out as your favorite?

[@lucilacantu]

Delicious! Thank you for the recipe. The red wine and the herbs makes it a perfect “vegan hachis parmentier”. 🤩

[@HowToMakeDinner]

I loooove lentil shepherds pie! So good. Love the narration too!

[@HowToCookSmarter]

Thanks Paula, I'm so glad you like it! Also, I appreciate your feedback for my voice-over thing, I'm just getting used to it, my first experience of that kind ever :) Talking about lentils, what's your favorite lentil recipe?

[@HienNguyen8]

[@HowToCookSmarter]

Thanks Hien, I appreciate your comment as always!

[@heisoursarshalom2184]

Shalom! Excellent Mr. Sasha! Excellent!

[@genius6126]

I m so glad l find your channel cause l eat to much beans lentils to cook them in a different way. So healthy and yummy

[@HowToCookSmarter]

Hi Ariana! I'm so glad you find my lentil-bean recipes interesting! I'm huge lover of these, so there will be definitely more lentil recipes in the future. Thanks for stopping by!

[@maynejad9959]

Thanks for great healthy recipes 👌👍👏

[@lakontessa]

Great Recipe! Thanks for sharing it, can u tell what can i use instead of wine?

[@lakontessa]

Just made it,instead of wine i just added a little bit of water, it turned out super yummy! I totally loved it💕 Can't wait to try more of your recipes Greetings from Egypt🇪🇬

[@karengray2650]

Looks delicious and well explained

[@ayanageorgett]

Love these recipes

[@MindBlownChef]

Very nice man what a great alternative for the vegetarians!! Very very healthy!! Awesome recipe!

[@HowToCookSmarter]

Thanks man, I appreciate it! Lentils work so great in this recipe, and you're right it's just a great alternative to classic meat pies. I'm not a vegetarian, but I do want to cut down on meat, so this Shepherd's pie was a hit. What's your favorite veggie based recipe?

[@DadsDishes]

Looks delicious. I think I'm going to very the topping and try with mashed sweet potatoes too make it even more nutrient dense . Has anyone tried this by chance? Or are the sweet potatoes not firm enough when they're cooked?

[@shrenasworld2367]

Really appreciate your work. Nice work. Thanks for sharing. Nice presentation 💐. Stay

[@HowToCookSmarter]

Hi there, thanks for watching, I appreciate your comment! Have a great day!

[@HistoricalItalianCooking]

Looks delicious! Wonderful cooking!

[@HowToCookSmarter]

Hi there, thanks for watching!

[@poughkeepsie8516]

Even though I love your videos I don’t agree with your comment on 1:50. I learned during my time in France that life’s too short to drink ‚OK‘ wine 😉 Other than that superb job, keep on going. Love from Germany

[@HowToCookSmarter]

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by and supporting! I completely agree with this life's too short to drink OK wine, even I'm not really passionate about wines, but I don't really find a big difference when it comes to cooking with wine, any little bit more expensive wine affects the flavor of the dish in the same way. Hugs from Croatia! Take care!

[@upscalehealth]

Wow amazing recipe Hmmm thanks for sharing

[@HowToCookSmarter]

Hi Bhavana, thanks for watching!

[@ebenburger111]

Wow!

[@HowToCookSmarter]

Thanks man!

[@TexasMadeFood]

Nice recipe 👌

[@HowToCookSmarter]

Thanks Clint, I appreciate it! What do you think about making comfort foods using no-meat just veggies? It definitely doesn't work all the time, but I was happy with this Shepherd's pie. 😊

[@CookingwithAfton]

Looks delicious I love it with meat tho

[@HowToCookSmarter]

Thanks Afton! Yeah, I love the meat one too. If making classic Shepherd's pie I use beef, even though it calls for lamb.

[@cocobunjee6676]

@@HowToCookSmarter Cottage Pie is made with beef, made with lamb it is Shepherds Pie. Love your recipes.

[@didasinan9669]

Hi What can replace wine ?

[@MyJoyOfCooking]

Great meat free alternative.

[@HowToCookSmarter]

Thanks Maria! The recipe turned out just fine after replacing the meat part with lentils. What's your favorite Meatless Monday recipe?

[@MyJoyOfCooking]

One of my favourites is portabello mushroom sandwich/burger, portabello instead of meat

[@HowToCookSmarter]

@@MyJoyOfCooking Haven't had one before, sounds like it's quite easy to make. When it comes to mushrooms, most of the time we have stuffed baked mushrooms, also one of the simple weeknight recipes.

[@MyJoyOfCooking]

I got portabello sandwich on my channel if you ever wanted to check it out, it is easy;) but tasty;)

Thanks for stopping by and liking!

[@yifeihan7324]

I would like to make it for Thanksgiving! May I ask how many servings are included in the recipe? Can I make it the day before and reheat on Thanksgiving day? If so, What would be the best reheating temperature and time? Thanks a lot!

[@meftu1374]

What can we use instead of wine?

[@purpleflowers6811]

💖💖💖

[@kira_draws_and_digs]

I wonder if you cook anything with beef, chicken, etc. This kind of food is healthy, too.

[@Butkus331]

I’m confused about the lentils. Do I cook the lentils separately and get them soft before adding them to the other stuff? Or do I put them in there dry and cook them with the broth? Thanks for the recipe man, looks delicious.

[@chongtang2978]

you cook lentil first or use the can lentils.

[@JB_Fraulein_Kunst]

Anyone made this without the mushrooms and if so, how did you compensate? Have a mushroom hater in my household 😭

[@Lisa-ServantOfChrist]

Shepard's pie is on my list of foods to try only thing with meat and not veggies. Veggies don't go down my throat well, lol. 🤪 How do you get your kids to eat all of those vegetables?

[@HowToCookSmarter]

Hi there Lisa! My family doesn't really like Shepherd's pie, in general, so they weren't so happy with this recipe. But, on the other side, I'm a huge Shepherd's pie lover, so I just had to please myself with this one. Classic vs. Meat-free Shepherd's pie, well, I love them both, and with this one I didn't miss the meat, lentils give such a nice texture. And talking about kids, they didn't want to eat it, and I think it was because they missed the meat with their potatoes, I had that same feeling couple of years ago when I started to cook these type of recipes.

[@HowToCookSmarter]

What are your favorite plant based recipes your family approves?

[@Lisa-ServantOfChrist]

@@HowToCookSmarter Awe poor kids. I hope you made something else for them to eat since they didn't like this recipe. 🙂

[@Lisa-ServantOfChrist]

@@HowToCookSmarter Well we eat things like carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, long green beans, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, pumpkin... That's about it for our veggies. We eat mostly meats cooked with vegetables and served with rice or roti (Guyanese style cooking).

[@HowToCookSmarter]

@@Lisa-ServantOfChrist Yeah, I think they had some pasta on that day, and they loove pasta. (and which kid doesn't)

[@pradeljames3260]

"Farmer's Pie"

[@HowToCookSmarter]

If you don't have idea what to cook with lentils check out my lentil series: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6uvd6OMrdSkpKs

[@patricialynveal4017]

Flavor..add "rich flavor" ...sigh... silly use of Japanese word throw in when speaking English

[@markedfodeath]

Great recipe! Calling it Lentil Shepherd's Pie is a bit of a misnomer, though. That would suggest that there are lentils and ground lamb in the pie. Just calling it Lentil Pie is enough. Also, the ground beef version of Shepherd's Pie is Cottage Pie.

[@YummyItFood]

This is such a great comfort food. I am usually a meat lover, but I do like your choice of veggies, and lentils are a great way to get protein. I think it works very well. You've cooked every thing perfectly . The end results turned out beautiful and delicious looking. Thank you for sharing this veggie version! 👍10
