Courtesy of Mrs. Audia - the best savory pie in the world! Omit cheese if you desire.
In big stock pot:
1. Saute onion, garlic, and celery in olive oil until tender and caramelized
2. Add potatoes, carrots, and broth. Bring to a boil.
3. Lower heat to simmer. Add lentils and spices. Liquid should be at mixture level in pot.
4. Cover partially with lid and stir occasionally until liquid is absorbed.
5. Depending on how you like your lentils - crunchier or softer - your cook time will vary. Usually 20 to 40 minutes. Add more liquid if necessary.
6. Turn off heat. If you let them sit with the lid off, they will cook more.
Assemble:
7. Layer lentil mixture in pie shells about 1/3 full. Add about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese.
8. Add another layer of lentil mixture.
9. Cook at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes or until shell is nicely browned.
10. Sprinkle with cheese and heat 5 to 10 minutes more.
Ingredient amounts are approximate - feel free to add, omit, increase amounts of anything to taste. Lentils are like split peas and do not require soaking. Can also add other spices including tarragon, coriander, sage, Italian seasoning, etc. The lentils will take on whatever palette of flavors you like. Think of it as a shepherd's pie if you desire.
