Lentil Cottage Pie

Gently fry the celery, rutabaga, and half the carrots for about 5 mins to soften, then stir in the mixed herbs and tomato purée, and cook for a minute more. Add the lentils, mix well, then pour in the stock. Season well with salt, pepper, and pinch of nutmeg, and simmer - covered - for 15 mins.
Cook the potatoes in boiling water until tender, adding the remaining carrots for the last 4 mins. Drain, return to the pan with the butter and some seasoning, and mash until smooth. Preheat the grill to high, and tip the lentil mixture into a baking dish and spoon the mash over the top. Use a fork to make ridges in the mash, then grill for 5 mins or until golden and crisp. Serve with your choice of greens.
