Lentil Shepherd's Pie

Ingredients

• 1 medium onion chopped finely
• 3 cloves garlic chopped finely
• 1 large carrot diced
• 2.5 teaspoons dried herbs (thyme, rosemary or marjoram all work well, or a combination of them. Mixed Herbs or Italian Mixed Herbs are also fine)
• 2.5 cups of cooked lentils (green or brown )
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot or cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Tamari ( you an sub this for soy sauce, coconut aminos or liquid aminos )
• 1 cup of crushed tomatoes or passata (if you only have whole or diced tomatoes just blend them up until smooth first)
• 1 cup of vegetable or mushroom broth
• Salt & pepper to taste ( I used 1 teaspoon of pepper and 1.5 teaspoons of salt)
• 6 cups (around 1000g) of diced raw potato (I love Yukon Gold potatoes)
• 1/3 cup unsweetened, unflavoured non-dairy milk
• A knob of my vegan butter (optional)
