Lentil and Mushroom Cottage Pie

I was craving a cottage pie after a winter walk in the Peak District, cold weather often makes me crave comfort food. My pie filling here is rich and savoury and completely vegan; portabella and chestnut mushrooms, lentils, sun-dried tomatoes, caramelised leek and shallots, garlic, carrots, organic vegetable stock, loads of herbs and a bit of Vegemite for a good savoury hit topped with olive oil mashed Maris Piper potatoes. Bags of flavour and just as tasty as a good meat-based cottage pie where the flavour is really dependent on the quality of the meat. My daughter is now vegan, so I wanted to cook a family meal that was a compromise – vegan but meaty in flavour! I’m glad to say we all really enjoyed this. Here’s the recipe.

Serves 6.

Ingredients:

300g lentils

250g portabella mushrooms, finely chopped

250g chestnut mushrooms, finely chopped

2 large carrots, peeled and finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, crushed

1 leek, finely chopped

4 shallots, finely chopped

1 red chilli, de-seeded and finely chopped

8 sun-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped

1.5 litres hot organic vegetable stock

1 handful of flat leaf parsley, finely chopped

2 sprigs of sage, finely chopped

3 sprigs of thyme, leaves picked and finely chopped

2 sprigs of rosemary, leaves picked and finely chopped

2 bay leaves

3 tsp Vegemite

2 tsp tomato purée

2kg maris piper potatoes, boiled and mashed

olive oil

sea salt

ground white pepper

granulated sugar

Equipment required:

large casserole type pan

30cm x 20cm baking dish

Method:

1. In a large casserole type pan with a lid, caramelise the chopped leek and shallots in olive oil over a medium heat. Then add the garlic, carrots and red chilli. Put the lid on the pan to sweat the vegetables until soft, about 8 minutes.

2. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and all the herbs.

3. In a large frying pan, sauté the chopped mushrooms in olive oil over a medium to high heat until well browned. The mushrooms will give release water as they cook, when all the liquid has evaporated transfer the mushrooms to the casserole pan using a slotted spoon, then stir everything together.

3. Next add the lentils, tomato purée and Vegemite to the pan. Stir everything together to coat the lentils with all the flavours.

4. Add the vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer gently uncovered for about an hour. If the mixture begins to evaporate too quickly add a little freshly boiled water.

5. Meanwhile, boil and mash the potatoes. Stir in a drizzle of olive oil and season well with sea salt and a little ground white pepper. Set aside until you’re ready to assemble the pie.

6. After an hour, the pie filling should have thickened and taste rich and savoury. Check the flavour and season to taste with sea salt and balance with a sprinkle of granulated sugar to sweeten if necessary, about a teaspoon or so.

7. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/160°C (fan oven).

8. Remove the bay leaves and pour the pie filling into the baking dish and top with mash. Use a fork to carve lines into the mash for a crispy finish.

9. Bake the cottage pie for about 30 minutes until the mash looks golden and has a nice crust. Serve piping hot with some simply cooked greens such as garden peas or broccoli.

The Best Garden Tillers According to Hyperenthusiastic Reviewers

Here at the Strategist, we like to think of ourselves as crazy (in the good way) about the stuff we buy, but as much as we’d like to, we can’t try everything. Which is why we have People’s Choice, in which we find the best-reviewed products and single out the most convincing ones. (You can learn more about our rating system and how we pick each item here.)

And while we’ve written about lots of landscaping gear before — including garden hoses and leaf blowers — here, we’ve rounded up the best garden tillers as praised by the most enthusiastic reviewers on Amazon.

More than 40 percent of reviewers describe this electric garden tiller as powerful. One reviewer, who used this on a flower bed that hadn’t been tended to in decade, said, “It powered through everything, the roots of old rosemary shrubs, weed stems, larger chunks of old mulch, it ground them all up and dug deep into the dirt and mixed it all up nice.” Another reviewer, working with hard clay soil, writes, “It practically cut through concrete and was able to go to a depth of 6-8.” But reviewers with soft soil like it too: “The soil itself was fairly soft and unchallenging, but even at that, I was shocked at how quickly this tiller busted it up into a surprisingly fluffy soil.” Many also say it’s easy to operate and appreciate that it comes almost completely assembled. Plus, it’s electric, which is a huge selling point for many. “Unlike my gas ones though, it’s easy to turn it off, and it actually starts right back up again, doesn’t stink, and you don’t run out of gas halfway through … so far has made short, albeit back breaking, work of tilling up my garden,” explains one reviewer. The only fear one reviewer has is that it has “almost has too much power, so you have to be careful when you hit a rock or thick root as you can break a tine or overheat the motor; but the quick release stop works great.”

“I didn’t have high expectations for this product considering its low price, it being electric, and the toughness of the dirt where I live,” writes one reviewer, but their fears were eased once this tiller arrived. “As soon as I pressed the power button, this thing took off like a rocket. I live in north Georgia, right at the North Carolina line and our soil here isn’t all that friendly when it comes to landscaping or digging because of the thick red clay and large natural stones. This tiller dug in without any issue.” And much like our best-rated tiller, this one from Earthwise also gets a lot of praise for its smaller size, especially for those with small gardens or flower beds. “Used this to till for a 20x20 foot wildflower plot,” one reviewer writes. “Did a great job of cutting through the fairly thin turf and the clay soil, tilling down a few inches.” Another says, “It was very easy to put together and has just the right amount of power needed in a flower bed.” And one says, “There is enough power to even work through the hard clay we have.” The flip side, however, is that “It takes more passes than a full size tiller because it is small, but overall I still think it was easier because it is just so easy to use.”

“This thing really is the little roto-tiller that could,” one reviewer writes of this Sun Joe machine. “We have VERY heavy clay soil that is full of rocks/stones and roots ranging from pencil thickness to several inches in diameter. This bad boy took it all on no problem. It simply chucks the rocks out of the way.” And though it looks like a toy, one reviewer swears, “This machine is a BEAST. I tilled up a hundred square feet of rock-hard ground that is a clay and river cobble mixture to a depth of six to eight inches in short order.” Many say this is also the ideal tiller for a small garden. “My vegetable garden is about 20 by 35, it is a rear tine tiller for something around that size,” one says, while another used it to till their 360-square-foot “garden area in an hour or less.” And while many reviewers prefer electric tillers to gas ones because they don’t require multiple cranks to start up and you don’t have to fuss with mixing gas and oil to fuel it, one downside is needing to plug in with a cord. However, it’s not a dealbreaker. As one reviewer explains, “The cord is a pain, but I have found a way to control it and don’t have to worry about having enough gas in the gas cans.”

This Sun Joe electric garden tiller is nearly the same as the one previously mentioned, but it’s got a slightly more powerful motor with 13.5 amps, rather than 12. And according to one reviewer, “No regrets paying more for the 13.5 amp motor.” They describe it as a beast, explaining, “My backyard had a mulched area that was kept in disarray by the previous owner. I wanted to get rid of the iris, weed and other undesirable plants. This tiller shredded the area pulling out the weed and the roots.” Others agree that the extra power gets any size job done. “I tilled ground that was clay and compacted with rocks, buried pieces of wood, fabric pieces decomposing, beer bottles,” one writes, adding, “The tiller cut through this like butter.” Another says, “I did an area about 40x25 in no time on our first nice day, and it never lacked for power.” And even though it packs a punch, it is still easy to handle, according to more than a quarter of reviewers. One reports it “handles as easily as a vacuum cleaner albeit more bouncy.” One word of warning, since this tiller is not cordless: You’ll need “AT LEAST a 14-gauge extension cord … Long runs over 50-feet will need 12-gauge which isn’t cheap but nice cables to have anyways.”

While reviewers admit this tiller isn’t powerful enough to break through new ground, they do say it’s ideal for mixing up soil in their flower beds. “I have 200 sq ft of 4x4 raised beds and this is perfect for turning over the soil in the whole box or just a space between plants,” says one reviewer. Another who calls this “a kitchen mixing machine for the soil” says, “It’s not a tractor, it instead is great for breaking up soil in one spot, like if you want to plant something like a rose bush and you need to break up the soil and/or mix in soil amendments.” Another compares it to an egg-beater, because “it loosens dirt adequately to about a 4-inch depth and keeps me off my aging knees.” The fact that it’s cordless keeps this tiller lightweight and easy-to-operate, too. Reviewers say batteries last between 30 minutes and an hour, enough for these smaller projects, though one reports that one charge “made it for 2+ thorough passes of a 15X3 ft space.”

“This little machine will dig to China if you let it,” says one reviewer, and 75 percent of reviewers give this Mantis gas tiller five stars. One reviewer, with “decades of experience with Mantis tillers,” says, “You really can convert an established lawn into a plantable bed without first scraping off the sod” with this thing. Another says that despite the power, it’s still “very easy to make it till or cultivate.” They continue, “Rocks I couldn’t see did not stop this mean machine.” And while some note it works in their small gardens, others have taken this to their entire backyard: “We did an entire backyard border with the Mantis tiller and it did an amazingly excellent job of prepping the soil. It was powerful, dug deep for planting shrubs and whatever we wanted. Cleaning it is a breeze and its light weight makes it very enjoyable to use.” As for fuel, one user says, “I can till my entire garden on less than a tank.”

“It is light, but, man, does it dig in,” one reviewer says of this four-cycle gas tiller. One says it’s “Great for gardening, installing landscaping beds, trenching for rock borders, Hell, I even used mine to dig a 3-foot deep trench for a drain-tiled downspout.” The main advantage of this four-cycle tiller, compared to the two-cycle above, is that it doesn’t require a mix of oil and gas. That means the set-up is pretty quick. “Thirty minutes out of the box to tines in the ground. Oiled, gassed up, and primed, it started on the second pull; bonus, it’s quiet,” one reviewer writes. Another says it “has the torque and ease of operation wrapped into one unit,” and others say it also offers more control. “It really digs in when tilling and In an established garden, you can get right in around your plants without destroying half the garden.”

Bob Crewe is an expert on garden tillers, but when he needed one at his suburban Chicago home, he rented it.

That's about to change.

"This might be the season when I finally pick one up," said Crewe, who works for Power Equipment Direct, an online home equipment store. "If you already have one waiting for you, you're more apt to go out and get to it."

The advantages of owning or renting a mini tractor -- or its smaller cousin, a cultivator -- are many.

Tillers and cultivators are useful for turning soil, mixing in compost and fertilizer for soil amendment and loosening soil to help water reach plant roots.

Gardeners are firing up their tillers now to prepare flower beds and vegetable gardens for planting. This year's early spring has brought strong demand for tillers, said Joseph Cohen, CEO of Snow Joe, a garden equipment company headquartered in Edison, N.J.

"No one expected to be in the garden this early. I've never seen demand this early," Cohen said.

In summer, tillers and cultivators can weed between vegetable rows, said Barbara Hastings, senior manager of marketing and communication for Troy-Bilt brand of outdoor equipment. The company is headquartered in Valley City.

Come fall, tillers plough garden waste back into the soil to decompose over the winter, Hastings said.

Many homeowners like to rent a tiller just for a few hours, and let someone else deal with maintenance and storage. Fees at tool rental companies can run from $29 for a two-hour rental of a small tiller up to $85 for a 24-hour rental of a large unit. Rental companies typically ask for a deposit.

But, when you rent a tiller, transportation is your headache. That means lifting a heavy unit in and out of the car, and protecting the car trunk from dirt and mud, Crewe said. You may also need to wash and dry the tiller before returning it.

If you rent a tiller every year, the fees will soon equal what a new tool would cost. Plus, owning a tiller means no more working with one eye on the clock.

Growing A Herb Garden

On the off chance that you're not the sort of person that necessities to contribute their vitality managing a definite normal item or vegetable garden, you ought to truly think about planting and keeping up a herb develop. While the thing won't not show up as basic, regardless of all that you'll welcome the enduring openness of fresh, eminent herbs to improve your suppers with.

To begin with you'll have to pick the herbs that you'll plant. You may encounter genuine troubles doing this because of the gigantic degree of herbs open. Regardless, the best way to deal with pick is to do what I did; essentially look at what you have in your kitchen. By planting your own specific social event of these herbs, you can save money on getting them from the general store while having the extra favorable position of freshness. A bit of the herbs you may start with consolidate rosemary, sage, basil, dill, mint, chives, and parsley among others.

While picking a locale to put your herb develop, you should recall that the earth should have to an extraordinary degree awesome waste. If the dirt gets watered and remains completely submerged, you have zero possibility of consistently growing a sound plant. A champion among different ways to deal with settle the leakage issue is to dive a foot some place down in the earth, and put a layer of crushed shakes down before supplanting all the soil. This will empower all that water to escape, in this way saving your plants.

When you are set up to begin planting herbs, you might be allured to buy the all the more exorbitant plants from the store. In any case, with herbs it is extensively less requesting to create them from seed than it is with various plants. Thusly you can save a pile of money by remaining with seed packages. A couple of herbs create at a hazardously speedy rate. For example, in case you plant a mint plant in an open space then it will expect control over your entire garden in a matter of days. The best way to deal with keep this issue is to plant the more strong plants in pots (with holes in the base to allow squander, clearly).

When it comes time to harvest the herbs you have drudged so hard completed, it can be lethal to your plant to take off exorbitantly. In case your plant isn't settled, it isn't advantageous to take any leaves at all, paying little mind to whether no doubt its not using them. You should hold up until the point that your plant has been dug in for no not exactly a while before evacuating any takes off. This hold up will be advocated, in spite of all the inconvenience, in light of the way that by getting to be unabated your plant will make soundly for a significant long time to come.

Once you've gathered your delicious home created herbs, you'll have to use them in cooking. Why else would you have created them? Well first the method begins with drying them out. This is adequately expert by setting them on a treat sheet and setting them up 170 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 to 4 hours. After they're sufficiently dried to be used as a piece of cooking, you can direct the nearest cookbook for rules on using them to reasonably improve a dish.

If you have to store your herbs for later utilize, you should keep them in a plastic or glass holder. Paper or cardboard won't work, since it will ingest the substance of the herbs. In the midst of the underlying couple of days of limit, you should routinely check the holder and check whether any sogginess has assembled. If it has, you ought to empty each one of the herbs and re-dry them. In case soddenness is left from the key drying process, it will stimulate development while you store your herbs. Nobody cherishes shape.

In case you acknowledge herbs or planting, or both, by then you should likely consider setting up a herb plant. It might require a bit of work at first to set it up for perfect leakage, and pick what herbs you have to create. Regardless, after the basic issue, it's just an issue of gathering and drying all your most adored herbs.

15 Weekend Baking Projects That Are Worth the Wait

15 Weekend Baking Projects That Are Worth the Wait

amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0"; amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "carmela-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "search"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_title = "Shop Related Products"; amzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = "cooking"; amzn_assoc_default_category = "Kitchen"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "51fe4d035c7af8dc5928e6f5e5b79c4e"; amzn_assoc_default_browse_node = "284507"; amzn_assoc_rows = "4"; amzn_assoc_design = "text_links";

Mix, knead, rise, shape, rise again, bake, rest—the long list of steps required by some baking projects can seem unapproachable to someone without a lot of experience. But don’t let that intimidate you, because they often don’t take as much effort as you might think. A recipe that lists 25 hours total prep time isn’t so scary when you realize that only 30 minutes of that is time spent actually working. Because many of these projects will stretch into two-day affairs, weekends provide the perfect opportunity to tackle the breads, rolls, and desserts that you’d never think of trying to squeeze in during the week.

Want something that you can get done a little faster? We’ve also thrown in a few recipes that you can fit into a single Saturday. Whether you can set aside six hours or 36, keep reading for 15 of our favorite recipes to cozy up to over a weekend.

Overnight Projects

Homemade Bagels

[Photograph: Vicky Wasik]

This unusual recipe uses a Japanese technique called yukone—precooking some of the flour with water to create a paste of gelatinized starch—to make perfectly browned bagels, with an eggshell-thin crust covered in tiny blisters. They also have a much longer shelf life than most. The bagels need to proof for 24 to 36 hours between shaping and baking, so get started Friday night if you want to have them ready to eat on Sunday morning.

Old-Fashioned, No-Knead English Muffins

Our English muffins require much less equipment than you might expect—you don’t need a stand mixer, a rolling pin, or, for that matter, an oven! We whisk and shape the dough by hand before cooking it on a griddle to give each muffin a wonderfully crisp crust. The dough has to rise twice—the first time for at least four hours, the second for at least 12—so schedule accordingly.

Overnight Brown-Butter Yeast-Raised Waffles

The batter for these waffles needs to sit overnight, but don’t let that trick you into thinking this is a complicated recipe—it requires only 10 minutes of active time. The evening before, brown a few tablespoons of butter to develop those toasty aromas, then mix in the rest of the ingredients and give it a night in the fridge. In the morning, your waffles will turn out with a nutty, more complex flavor and a chewy texture.

One-Bowl, Overnight Cinnamon Rolls

These classic cinnamon rolls, filled with pecans and smothered with gooey cream cheese frosting, get their light, tender texture from an overnight rise in the fridge, as well as Greek yogurt mixed into the dough. Though the recipe is completed in a few different stages and requires some assembly, these fluffy rolls aren’t all that difficult to make. A word of advice: The puffy dough will get squished by even the sharpest knife, so cut the rolls with butcher’s twine (or unflavored dental floss) instead.

Cuñapes/Pão de Queijo (South American Cheesy Bread)

[Photograph: Vicky Wasik]

Pão de queijo, cuñapes, pan de bono—these cheesy South American rolls are delicious by any name. The bread gets its chewy texture from tapioca starch; while Thai brands are the most common in the US, it’s worth seeking out Brazilian fermented tapioca starch for lighter, slightly tangy rolls. As for the cheese, we find a mix of cheddar and Grana Padano to be the best substitute for Mexican queso fresco.

The Best Dinner Rolls (Fluffy, Crusty, and Chewy)

Remember yukone, the Japanese technique that gives our bagels their magical longevity? We use it again here to make our dinner rolls extra tender. In another move borrowed from those bagels, we also boil the rolls before baking, to help them get well browned and crispy. Serve them alongside your favorite winter soup, or use them to make especially satisfying sandwiches.

Easy No-Knead Olive-Rosemary Focaccia With Pistachios

[Photograph: J. Kenji López-Alt]

If you’ve ever shied away from baking because it seems like too much work, this is the recipe for you. It takes just 15 minutes of active time to make this focaccia, thanks to a high-hydration dough, which both stretches out and develops gluten all by itself during an overnight rest. Though you can get creative with flavorings, we like a combination of sliced olives, fresh rosemary, and lightly crushed pistachios.

Easy Roasted-Garlic Focaccia

This recipe puts a garlic-bread twist on our basic no-knead focaccia. We incorporate the garlic in two ways—whole cloves of roasted garlic pressed into the dough and garlic butter brushed on top. Baking the bread at very high heat encourages oven spring and creates those crunchy micro blisters on the surface.

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yes, you can make an excellent batch of chocolate chip cookies in just 45 minutes. But if you’ve never tried a batch of the chewy, crisp-edged cookies that Kenji spent months perfecting, you don’t know what you’re missing. Resting the dough for a day or so allows its proteins and starch to break down, giving the cookies a more complex, butterscotch-y flavor. Browning the butter doesn’t hurt, either.

Simple Crusty White Bread

This versatile white loaf, perfect for either sandwiches or snacking, comes together in an afternoon and is a great recipe for first-time bread-makers. The recipe makes two loaves, but we provide the right ratios of ingredients to make it easy to scale up or down as you choose. Beginners may want to check out our Breadmaking 101 series, which clearly walks you through all the steps: mixing, proofing, shaping, and baking.

The Best Challah

Making this homemade challah definitely takes a little patience, as the bread needs to rise three separate times. You can speed up the last (and longest) rise, which takes six hours at cool room temperature, by leaving the bread near a warm oven. The reward for all your waiting, though, will be two magnificent loaves that are fluffy and golden inside from the egg-rich dough and burnished brown outside. Our recipe includes a video guide to braiding the challah, too.

Gluten-Free Potato Bread

The secret to this potato bread is our gluten-free flour blend, a mix of starches and flours that can be used as a 1:1 replacement for all-purpose flour in any recipe. Making the bread with starchy russet potatoes keeps it moist and gives it extra flavor.

Cemitas (Mexican Sesame Seed Sandwich Buns)

Whether you’re making a traditional cemita sandwich, an Americanized Roosevelt Avenue–style one, or even a cemita-inspired burger, the cemita roll is one of our favorite sandwich buns of all time. The brioche-like Pueblan bread is moist and tender, but has enough heft to stand up to whatever fillings you want to stuff inside it. An egg wash, followed by a generous sprinkling of sesame seeds and sea salt, turns the rolls glossy and adds flavor.

Soft Bread Salami Rolls

Our riff on a New England steak bomb is made on what appear to be pretty basic sandwich rolls, with a tender crumb and crisp exterior. But turn one of them over, and you’re in for a treat—we bake each one on a thin slice of salami that crisps up in the oven. For even more meaty flavor, brush the rolls with rendered beef fat before baking.

Homemade Fig Newtons

[Photograph: Vicky Wasik]

Commercials for Fig Newtons used to hinge on the tagline “A cookie is just a cookie, but Newtons are fruit and cake.” Turns out, that’s not just a marketing slogan but a helpful guideline for baking your own at home, too. Though these classic American snacks may look like cookies, to mimic the flavor and texture of the original, you’ll need a soft, egg yolk–enriched dough inspired by yellow cake. Dried-fig purée, rather than fig jam, gives the filling a concentrated fruit flavor. Preparing the Newtons isn’t that time-consuming, but they need to sit for about six hours to develop their moist, cake-like texture.

HEALTHY HOLIDAY SIDE DISHES

20 healthy holiday side dishes, perfect for sharing with friends and family who either have food intolerances or restrictions, or simply enjoy eating clean!

With Thanksgiving coming up next week, and Christmas around the corner as well, I thought we could pause the recipes and focus some attention on fresh and funky Thanksgiving side dishes. If you’re hosting or contributing to a Thanksgiving (or Friendsgiving) feast this year, you may have a few dietary restrictions to cater to. This is where I hope to be of some help! I’ve rounded up my favorite holiday side dishes from this site and have noted which of them are paleo, vegetarian, vegan, and/or gluten-free. This way, you can whip up healthful, nutrient-dense dishes for your friends and family and not have to worry about anyone going hungry.

This roundup is perfect for eaters who…

are gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and/or paleo

enjoy eating clean

are looking to prepare straight-forward, easy, simple recipes to save time and money

are trying to avoid having to wear yoga pants the rest of the winter on account of the holidays

Questions on any of these recipes, on cooking allergy-free dishes, and/or on why wide-leg pants still haven’t made a comeback? Hit me up!
