Ingredients

  • 1 white onion
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 stalks of celery
  • 1 tomato
  • one 8oz package mushrooms
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb lentils
  • 1 vegetable bouillon cube
  • 2 bay leaves
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 1-2 tablespoon soy milk

Instructions

  • First, prepare the filling. Dice the onion, carrots, celery, and tomato. Slice the mushrooms. Crush the garlic cloves.
  • In a large nonstick pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Add in the prepared vegetables, season with the garlic, paprika, and salt, and saute until soft.
  • Add in the lentils, and toss to coat with the olive oil.
  • Add enough water to cover (about 3-4 cups), and toss in the bay leaves and vegetable bouillon. Lower heat to a simmer, and cook until lentils are tender and mixture is thick and creamy, stirring occasionally. This should take about 20-25 minutes. Add more water if needed.
  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • Divide the lentil mushroom mixture evenly among 4 big bowls (you could also do 6 smaller servings).
  • Grab your sheet of puff pastry, lay it on a lightly floured surface, and stretch it out slightly using a rolling pin. Cut into 4 or 6 even squares depending on how many bowls you have. Cut 4 small slits in each to let the steam escape.
  • Wet the edges of the bowls with a little water, and place each puff pastry square on top. Brush with soy milk, and sprinkle on a little salt and pepper or italian seasonings.
  • Place all the bowls on one cookie sheet, and place in oven. Bake for 20 minutes, until puff pastry is golden brown and crispy. You can do 1-2 minutes under the broiler at the end to get them nice and brown. Serve immediately!
