Produce Box Dinner Night!

Lentil & Kale Shepherd's Pie 

Corn, Tomato, Cucumber Salad

Using up a bunch of red potatoes, corn, cucumbers and tomatoes!



 Ingredients:

1 can Lentils, drained
1/2 White Onion, finely diced
2 c. Fresh Kale or Spinach, chopped finely (I use the Ninja, when I chop kale this way it's as finely chopped as when you use parsley in a dish)
1/2 can each:  Carrots, Peas, Green Beans
2 c. Mashed Potatoes (however you like to prepare them)
Olive Oil
1 TBSP Chopped Garlic
*Shredded Mozzarella, optional

Method:

Make mashed potatoes (boil cubed potatoes 10 min., mash with butter, garlic, milk etc.)
Set Aside

In a large frying pan, heat 1 TBSP Olive Oil
Add chopped kale/spinach and onion/garlic
Fry 5 min., Stirring so it doesn't burn
Stir with drained lentils and set aside

Spray a round Pyrex with cooking spray

Layer on mixture of carrot, peas and green beans
Top with Lentil/Kale mixture
Top with remaining mashed potatoes
Sprinkle on shredded cheese, if using

Bake at 400 for 20 min.
