Directions
Top Layer:
Boil the potatoes and mash with soymilk, nutritional yeast, parsley and minced garlic. Set aside.
Bottom layer:
Cook up 2 cups of lentils in vegetable stock and chopped onion. When just about finished cooking add enough textured vegetable protein to absorb the excess water. Set aside.
Prepare nutritional yeast gravy:
Toast flour over medium heat, add yeast, then oil and mix well. Add water. Bring to a boil and use whisk to get rid of clumps. May want to add more yeast. Add tamari and gravy flavoring. Cook a few minutes until thickened.
Add to lentil and tvp mixture reserving about ½ cup for the top.
Coat a baking dish with cooking spray and spoon in lentil-TVP-gravy mixture, then layer the frozen vegetables, then spoon mashed potatoes over everything.
Drizzle with remaining gravy and bake for about a ½ hour or more in a 375 degree F oven.
