Method for Herbs, Lentil and Parmesan Pie:

  1. Firstly make the pastry. Place the flour in a bowl and using a fork, mix in the herbs, egg, olive oil and water until it forms a dough. Shape the dough into a ball and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, make the filling: Heat the oil in a medium pan, add the onion, garlic, red pepper, cauliflower, courgette and celery and fry for 3-4 minutes until beginning to soften.
  3. Add the carrot and continue to fry for 1 minute. Stir through the lentils and tomatoes, bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the lentils are tender.
  4. Stir through the remaining ingredients, season well then transfer to a pie dish. Brush the rim of the pie dish with a little water, then roll out the pastry to cover the pie.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 200?C/400?F/Gas Mark 6 for 30-35 minutes or until golden.
