Step 1

Instruction

Put a large saucepan of water with a pinch of salt on to boil for the potato. Chop the potato into 2cm chunks (no need to peel!). Pop them into the pan of water, bring back to the boil, lower the heat to medium and cook for 20 mins. TIP: The potato is cooked when you can easily slip a knife through.

Drain the lentils in a sieve, rinse under cold water and keep to one side.

Add the lentils to the veggie mixture. Stir in the parsley and add more salt and pepper if needed. Spoon the lentil mixture into an ovenproof dish and top with the mash. Smooth the mash over with a spoon, then sprinkle on the cheese and remaining Worcester sauce. Pop under your grill for 3 mins. You want the cheese to be golden and bubbling. Serve!
