Oven Roasted Potatoes, Green Beans, Mushrooms and Onions with Thyme and Garlic

Serves

Prep time

30 minutes

Cook time

1 hour

Total time

1 hour, 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1.5lb small potatoes

  • 2 bunches fresh green beans

  • 16oz sliced mushrooms

  • 1 Medium yellow onion

  • 8 cloves garlic

  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • sea salt and fresh ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° F. If you want them to cook a bit quicker you can do 400°, but I was cooking a roast at 350 so that's what I went with. Wash all of your vegetables. Cut the potatoes into quarters, slice mushrooms, half and slice the onion thinly, peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves. Add all of these vegetables to the baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the top. Add the fresh thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Toss well and spread into single layer. Roast for 30 minutes. While roasting, cut your green beans into thirds. After 30 minutes remove the pan from the oven and add the cut green beans. Toss well. Spread back out in a single layer and place back in the oven to roast for another 30 minutes.

Add the green pepper and cook until they start to soften, about 2 minutes. Add scallions and spinach leaves and cook until the leaves start to wilt, stirring occasionally.

Lentil and Mushroom Shepherd's Pie

Prep time: 40 mins

Cook time: 35 mins

Total time: 1 hour 15 mins

Serves: 8 or more

Ingredients

  • 8 large or 10 medium potatoes

  • 2 tablespoons Earth Balance or other vegan butter

  • ½ cup unsweetened rice milk or other nondairy milk

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 large onion, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 6 ounces mushrooms

  • Two 15-ounce cans lentils with their liquid

  • 2 tablespoons dry red wine, optional

  • 1 to 2 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce or Bragg’s liquid aminos

  • 2 to 3 teaspoons all-purpose seasoning blend (such as Frontier or Mrs. Dash)

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot

  • 8 to 10 ounces baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the potatoes. Place in a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a simmer, then cover and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a small mixing bowl.

  2. Stir the vegan butter into the potatoes until melted, then add the rice milk and mash until fluffy. Season with salt, cover, and set aside until needed.

  3. Preheat the oven to 400º F.

  4. While the potatoes are cooking, heat the oil in a medium skillet. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until translucent. Add the garlic and mushrooms and continue to sauté until the onion is golden.

  5. Add the lentils and their liquid and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the optional wine, soy sauce, seasoning blend, thyme, and pepper. Cook gently for 5 minutes. Combine the cornstarch with just enough water to dissolve in a small container. Stir into the lentil mixture.

  6. Add the spinach, a little at a time, cooking just until it’s all wilted down. Remove from the heat; taste to adjust seasonings to your liking.

  7. Lightly oil a 2-quart (preferably round) casserole dish, or two deep-dish pie plates.

  8. Scatter the breadcrumbs evenly over the bottom. Pour in the lentil mixture, then spread the potatoes evenly over the top. If using two pie plates, divide each mixture evenly between them.

  9. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the potatoes begin to turn golden and slightly crusty. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes, then cut into wedges to serve
