Matty Lee has teamed up with our nutrition guru Tiff for a savoury pie recipe. With only 340 kcals why not give it a try...

Matty Lee Pie 2

As a proud Yorkshireman I love a good pie, so here's the recipe I've worked on with our nutritionist Tiff. This works really well for an individual pie but I often double up and make an extra one for the next day!

My top tip for this one is get all your prep done first to make it easier - that way you can just chuck it all in at the end!

Ingredients

  • 1 medium parsnip (chopped)
  • 3 new potatoes (chopped)
  • 1/4 onion (chopped)
  • 1 clove garlic (chopped)
  • 2 bay leaves (optional)
  • 1tsp dried herbs
  • Handful of mushrooms/1 portobello mushroom
  • 150ml vegetable stock
  • 50ml milk
  • 1tsp butter/olive oil spread
  • 1 portion of red lentils (40g dried)

Method:

  1. First make sure you check the lentil packet and cook according!
  2. Grab a frying pan and your chopped ingredient and fry the chopped onions, garlic and mushrooms for 5 minutes until softened
  3. Boil the parsnip and potatoes and bubble away for 7-8 minutes until softened
  4. Add the cooked lentils, herbs, bay leaves and stock to the onion and mushrooms, stir, then simmer for 5 minutes – that is when the magic happens!
  5. Meanwhile, drain the cooked parsnips/potatoes, then mash or blend with the milk and butter until smooth and creamy - season with a pinch of salt and pepper
  6. Spread the mushroom and lentil mixture into a pie dish, then top with the mash
  7. Stick it in the oven at 200 degrees for 20 minutes until the top is golden

Bish, bash, bosh, you have yourself a healty pie!
