Lentil, Mushroom, and Sweet Potato Sheperd's Pie

A tasty vegetarian dish with surprising ingredients.

Do you tire of lentil dishes that are soggy? This recipe gets around that by including -- brace yourself -- steel cut oats! It is also very nicely spiced (hello smoked paprika). My daughter is doing her annual stint of vegetarian eating, and this dish made her day. My husband prepared it, felt it was only ok (no meat!), but my daughter loved it - so (3+5)/2 gives us the rating of 4.

I think one could add more mushrooms, and some additional vegetables, like maybe diced carrots, but really, its quite nice just as it is.
