- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil, mushrooms, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Saute until the onion turns translucent, about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next, add the lentils, mixed vegetables soy sauce, tomato paste, vegetable broth, dried parsley, salt and a pinch of pepper. Stir to combine the mixture and heat the mixture for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Spoon the mixture into a pie dish or an 8×8 square baking dish and spread it into an even layer. Carefully dollop and spread 3 cups of the mashed potatoes over top of the vegetable mixture and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and broil for another 5 minutes until the mashed potatoes start to brown on top. Let it cool and set up for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
