Vegetarian Pot Pie with Puff Pastry Crust
A mix of fresh and frozen vegetables in a lively sauce forms the filling for this vegetarian pot pie. The top crust couldn't be easier, since it is a sheet of thawed puff pastry, draped over the top of the dish. Make this a vegan dish by substituting your favorite vegan butter, if you wish.

This vegan shepherd's pie is comforting, healthy, delicious and really easy to make. You can also make it in batches to freeze and serve when you don't have much time to cook. We used lentils to make ours, but you could use chickpeas instead, if you'd prefer. Serve with fresh cilantro if desired.
