Yield: 6 servings

Notes

Usually we do 3 big taters and 3 lil taters.

Also, you need a skillet with a lid.

Instructions

  1. Cut up the potatoes and add to a pot with enough water to cover. Boil until soft, then mash 'em.
  2. Meanwhile, mince the garlic and add the mushrooms. Heat up the oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and mushrooms to saute until the mushrooms are starting to brown.
  3. Add the lentils, sage, thyme, pepper and broth to the 'shroom skillet and stir. Put the lid on, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 20 minutes (lid still on).
  4. Add the coconut milk to the skillet and bring back up to a simmer until the mixture thickens to a gravy (about 5-10 minutes). Then add salt to taste.
  5. Serve the mushroomy stuff over the mashed potatoes.
