Vegetarianpasteldepapapotatoandlentilpastel Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°RF.
• For the lentils: Boil the lentils in water and salt until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Sauté chopped onions in the oil for about 3 minutes, and add the chopped red pepper for about 5 more minutes, add salt and pepper. Add the lentils, lower the heat (lentils are already cooked).
• Season with a lot of cumin, a little bit of cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. You can try them and keep seasoning until you like them.
• For the mashed potatoes: Peel (before or after boiling) and boil the potatoes in water with salt. Once tender, mash with fork. While you mash you can add the butter, the milk, salt, parmesan cheese, pepper and nutmeg. It doesn't have to be neither smooth or hard, something in between, you can control this with the milk. Don't add the egg until the end so you can try it and season as you like. Once mashed and once you love it and can't stop eating it, add the egg and mix well.
• Use a baking dish or casserole dish (I used a glass Pyrex), spray it with nonstick spray, and add one thin layer of the mashed potatoes, less than half an inch tall. Spread it evenly. Add the lentils on top of it, spread them, and add the rest of the mashed potatoes on top of the lentils. Draw lines with a fork on top of the mashed potatoes, these will brown and be crispy.
• Bake pastel for 20-30 minutes, until the lines of the fork turn a little golden.
• Let it stand or a few minutes before enjoying.

Steps:

• Mix together the oil, vinegar, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil; add rotini and bring to a boil again. Cook until rotini is al dente; drain well. Return the rotini to the pot.
• While rotini is cooking heat oil in a frying pan and saute red bell pepper, green bell pepper, garlic and carrots. Cook until vegetables are softened. Place the broccoli in the frying pan and cook another 2 minutes.
• Pour the cooked vegetables into the pot with the pasta. Pour the vinaigrette over the pasta and vegetables. Toss to distribute vegetables and vinaigrette evenly.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion and cook slowly until soft and golden. Tip in the paprika and cook for a further 2 mins, then add the sweet potato, lentils, thyme and stock. Bring to a simmer, then cook for 20 mins or until the potato and lentils are tender.
• Add the vinegar and some seasoning, and roughly mash the mixture until you get a texture you like. Chill for 1 hr, then drizzle with olive oil, dust with the extra paprika and sprinkle with thyme sprigs, if you like. Serve with pitta bread and vegetable sticks.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes until soft enough to mash. Drain then let cool down.
• Chop the onions into long thin slices and cook the onion together with the ground beef in a heated pan with (olive or canola) oil.
• Once the beef is fully cooked but not too dry (let there be some juice) you can add the grated carrots, olives, and chopped boiled eggs. Then add spices and mix together well.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• After the potatoes are cool enough, with a potatoe masher, mash them completely to take out as many chunks as possible. Add the butter, milk and salt if desired to taste.
• In an oven safe dish, place a first half inch layer of mashed potatoes on the bottom of the dish. Then apply all of the beef mixture on top of the first mashed potatoe layer. Then apply the second and final layer of mashed potatoes on top of the beef. Top with small pieces of butter, parsley and grated cheese (if desired). Let the potatoe brown and heat in the oven for twenty minutes. Let cool and serve warm!
