DIRECTIONS
MAKE THE FILLING:
1 In a large heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoon oil. Add mushrooms and
sear until deeply brown, remove from skillet. Lower heat to medium and add remaining oil. Add
onion, celery, parsnips, and butternut squash, cook until starting to become well browned, about 12
minutes. 

2 Stir in tomato paste and garlic and cook, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Stir in miso paste,
immediately deglaze with wine, and cook 1 minute more. Add the mushrooms back in and stir in the
lentils. Sprinkle everything with our and stir until well incorporated.

3 Cook 1 more minute and then add vegetable stock. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer
and cook until the lentils are al dente, about 15 minutes.

1 Preheat oven to 425°. In a large pot, cover potatoes with water and season with salt. Bring to a boil
and cook until totally soft, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Use a potato masher to mash
potatoes until smooth. 

2 Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, heat oil and thyme. Add garlic and cook until
fragrant, 1 minute. Discard thyme and pour oil over potatoes. Add butter and stir until completely
combined and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. 

3 Spread evenly over the vegetable lling and bake until there is very little liquid visible and mashed
potatoes are golden, about 35 minutes. Broil if desired and garnish with parsley and thyme before
serving.

Hiyo, made this yesterday. Turned out delicious!!

I did end up cooking everything for a lot longer than the projected times (but that may just have to do with my
stove). Also, the wine measurement was missing from the recipe- 1/2 cup made the most sense! Last, for the
novice cooks (like me -.-) do NOT put in the mushroom stems...they are not edible.
