Approx 260 Calories per serve (Approx 35gms Carbs, 12gms Fat, 10gms Protein) - This may not look great in the pics but it's ridiculously delicious and tastes as amazing as eating a 'cheat meal' without actually eating a cheat meal.
This recipe uses a creamy Cauliflower Mash for the topping to make it low carb 😁

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Prepare vegetables as per ingredients instructions (pic doesn't show the Cauliflower once put in the food processor or the rice flour mixture)

  2. 2

    Place 1tbs Olive oil in a pan, add the onion and saute for 5mins.

  3. 3

    While the onion sautes, in the other pan, add the processed Cauliflower, 2 cups almond milk, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper to the other pan. Place lid on pan and leave to simmer covered (I didn't take any pics, sorry). This will cook down for approx 15 - 20mins cooking (or until softened)

  4. 4

    Back to the filling pan, Add the other tbs olive oil and then leek and garlic and saute for a further 3 minutes. Then add the Mushrooms, carrot, celery, parsley, tomato paste, thyme, mixed herbs, paprika, 2 tsp salt & 1 tsp pepper and stir.

  5. 5

    Add the lentils and 1 1/2 cups Water and stir. Bring to the boil, turn down to simmer for approx 10mins

  6. 6

    Just before the filling is ready, add the rice flour water mixture and cook for a minute or so and place the filling mixture into the baking tray

  7. 7

    For the topping, place the cooked down Cauliflower mixture in a Food processor (I used a Nutribullet), with the butter and 2tbs Parmesan and blitz until smooth.

  8. 8

    Spread the Cauliflower Mash over the top of the filling, sprinkle the last tablespoon of Parmesan over the top and bake for 30mins.

  9. 9

    Once finished, serve. You can leave in the oven for longer for a browner top. I was too hungry to wait and it was great anyway (although doesn't make for the prettiest of pics 😂)

Food, food, glorious food!!! Lover of all food! Trying to be adventurous with a low(ish) carb, plant based diet during the week.. Eating everything else on the weekend 😂I'm a huge Curry lover! Curries from all over the world. I could literally eat Curry for breakfast, lunch and dinner.Most of the curries I make are just from ingredients I have in my house at the time that need to be used or dishes I've eaten while travelling.
