The Compassion Experiment: It's not a blog, it's a Blitter. Too short for a blog, too long for a Twitter. As promised, here is a new recipe we tried last night, and I have to admit, it was damn good. A Compassionate Shepherd's Pie Filling: 1 medium onion 3 small carrots, chopped 1 stalk of celery 1 large tomato, chopped 2 tbsp olive oil 1 can of green lentils, mashed 1 tsp dried basil 1 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp tomato sauce Topping: 4 potatoes, chopped 1 tbsp oregano 1/4 cup soy milk 1 tbsp butter flavour spread salt to taste Preheat oven to 350F. Boil the potatoes. Saute the onions, carrots, celery and tomatoes in the oil. Once carrots are tender, add the mashed lentils, salt, soy sauce and tomato sauce. Stir and simmer without a lid until the liquid evaporates. While the veggies are roasting, mash the potatoes, milk, buttery spread, and spices in a bowl. Set aside. Pour the veggies into an oiled, small casserole dish, and then layer the potatoes on top. Bake for 15-20 minut
