  Really enjoyed this, even my boyfriend who would rather die than eat lentils said how tasty it was. I reduced the wine to 150ml as suggested which was perfect. The only suggestion I would make is it was a bit too sweet with all sweet potato mash, next time I'd do half normal, half sweet mashed together.

  So delicious! I had some left over chopped veg (peppers, tomatoes, courgette etc) from a meal the day before so threw those in too.

  This was really fabulous! I'm following weight watchers so i substituted the red wine for worcester sauce (gluten free) and also swapped the sweet potato mash for butternut squash mash. you only need to point the lentils and any half fat cheese you add to the top! Gluten free and low point! How fab! I'm going to make more to freeze.

  I would give this no star if i could. Made this for the kids, not only does it look and smell bogging, it IS bogging. Total let down. VERY bad. DO NOT TRY THIS. message from the kids, as they also wanted to contribute: ew ew ew ew.

  Made this last week, really enjoyed it. Just a tad too much wine, so I will be reducing this next time....

  Really enjoyes this dish... very flavoursome. It was good to try an alternative to a meat dish as we are both meat eaters. It took longer than 40 mins to re-heat. May also add some garlice but really don't think it needs that much else.

  I'm a huge meat eater but thought I'd give it a go and will certainly be making it again :)

  Absolutely delicious, the whole family loved it. I added 3 large open cup mushrooms, finely chopped, with a splodge of marmite for some added oomph. Although if you hate marmite you could add some worcestershire sauce instead. A real winter warmer.

  YUM!!! I stuck to the quantities of liquid indicated, but used dried lentils, so they absorbed a lot of it and the consistency was perfect. I also only used about 300g of carrot, and added 200g of fresh green peas, mostly because my mum always made shepherds pie with peas, it seemed wrong without them :) I also added a couple of chopped cloves of garlic after the onions, and put a bayleaf the sauce as it simmered.

  Wow! I've just made this as an alternative to a sunday roast and it's divine and so easy to make. It's never easy finding veggie alternatives for things but this was great. I halved the quantaties to serve 2 which didn't work as well as I'd hoped, lots more filling than mash but it was still great. I would definately make again.

  Really enjoyed this. I needed to use a bit more sweet potato, as i like a lot of mash, but both myself and my wife really liked it. just as good as a normal meat cottage pie

  I tried this recipe yesterday evening and it was a success. I can see why some meat eaters don't realise it contains no meat! Having read through the comments, I used a fruity wine, but the full 200ml, the full 150ml of water, but drained the lentils of their water. I added 2 chopped garlic cloves with the onions and a chopped red pepper with the carrots, and I made those a little smaller than sugar cube sized chunks. I cooked the whole lot uncovered, on a fairly high heat to reduce the liquid, which took about 7 minutes longer than the designated time in the recipe. I added cinnamon to the mashed sweet potato, and didn't incorporate the cheese as both my son and I have an intolerance to it (and I don't therefore use it in normal cottage pie either). The result was just the right consistency, and delicious! The sweet potato was a much lighter topping than normal potatoes, particularly useful as we ate quite late.

  I made this recipe three times in a row I loved it so much!! I do tend to let it simmer longer than suggested as like the sauce quite thick :)

  Followed the recipe, it was very good, wonderful colour and texture however I might add some extra beans (maybe cannellini) for some extra volume.
