How long does Vegan Lentil Cottage Pie keep in the fridge?

Vegan Lentil Cottage 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 Cottage Pie ahead of time?

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

What can I serve with Vegan Lentil Cottage Pie?

Classic pairings include green-beans, salad. For a complete italian thali, add a dal, a dry sabzi, papad, and a sweet ending.
