Instructions

Prep
1

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Thinly slice mushrooms. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Roughly chop parsley. Cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces.

Cook potatoes
2

Combine potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) in a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered, until fork-tender, 10-12 min.

Cook veggies
3

While potatoes cook, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until beginning to brown, 2-3 min. Add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then mirepoix. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender, 3-4 min.

Make stew
4

Add garlic, tomato sauce base and Italian Seasoning to the pan with veggies. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1-2 min. Add lentils, including liquid, and soy sauce. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until stew thickens slightly, 5-8 min. Season with salt and pepper. Add spinach and stir until wilted, 1 min.

Finish potatoes
5

When potatoes are fork-tender, reserve 1/4 cup potato cooking water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain and return potatoes to the same pot, off heat. Mash cream cheese and 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) into potatoes until creamy. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in half the parsley. For a lighter consistency, add reserved potato water, 1-2 tbsp at a time, if desired.

Finish and serve
6

Divide mashed potatoes between bowls. Top with lentil stew. Sprinkle remaining parsley over top.
