How long does Vegan Lentil Shepherd's Pie keep in the fridge?

Vegan Lentil Shepherd's Pie keeps 3 to 4 days refrigerated in an airtight container. Reheat on the stove or microwave until piping hot before serving. We do not recommend freezing tempered dishes since the spices dull after thaw.

Can I make Vegan Lentil Shepherd's Pie ahead of time?

Yes. Vegan Lentil Shepherd's Pie is a great make-ahead dish. Cook it fully, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate. Most mediterranean vegan dishes taste better the next day once the masala has had time to meld.

What can I serve with Vegan Lentil Shepherd's Pie?

Classic pairings include standalone. For a complete mediterranean thali, add a dal, a dry sabzi, papad, and a sweet ending.
