Zubereitung von Beef And Lentil Pies
- Rinse 1 cup of lentils and place in a saucepan with enough cold water to cover completely. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- While lentils simmer, brown 500g lean ground beef in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add 1 chopped onion, 2 stalks finely chopped celery, 1 diced carrot, and 2 minced cloves of garlic to the beef. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in 400g of canned crushed tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Drain the lentils, reserving 300ml of the cooking liquid. If you don't have enough, add hot water to reach 300ml.
- Add the drained lentils to the beef mixture. In a small bowl, dissolve 1 tablespoon of Vegemite in the reserved lentil liquid. Stir this mixture into the beef and lentil mixture.
- Add 1 bay leaf, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
- While the beef and lentil mixture simmers, prepare the topping. Place 2 peeled and cubed potatoes and 1 peeled and cubed parsnip in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
- Drain the potatoes and parsnips and mash them together with 1/2 cup of plain yogurt and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh chives.
- Preheat your grill or broiler.
- Remove the bay leaf from the beef and lentil mixture. Divide the mixture among 4 (2-cup capacity) ramekins or a large casserole dish.
- Spoon or pipe the potato and parsnip mash over the top of the beef and lentil mixture. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Place under the grill for a few minutes, or until the potato topping is nicely golden brown and heated through.
