so the other day, i made my fabulous tofu and vegetable pot pie with lentils instead of tofu! it was so good!
it's funny, it seems like there are people who are just completely opposed to tofu, as if as soon as they eat it they will sprout giant dreadlocks and start talking about how great crystals are. this would be a great option for those tofu-adverse in our lives. as well, lentils are cheap and easy and quick to cook.
i used canned lentils because i had them around, but you could also use 1 c dry green lentils to replace the can, just boil them in broth until they are soft (20-30 minutes) before adding to the other ingredients.
whereas when i use tofu in this recipe i add it with the veggies to fry it up a bit, i just added the canned lentils right before the gravy mixture.
it was awesome, i highly recommend you try it! (by the way, i made it in a lovely batch of vegan pastry!)
