Step 1

Boil the kettle. Grate 100g of the sweet potatoes and put in a slow cooker pot with the frozen veg, tomato puree, thyme, chutney, stock and flour.

Add the lentils to the slow cooker and stir well into the sauce. Re-cover and cook for another 30 minutes to heat the lentils.

Step 3

Meanwhile heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and line a large baking tray with baking parchment. Cut remaining sweet potatoes into ½ cm thick slices, add to the lined tray with the oil and some seasoning, toss to coat then spread potatoes into a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes until tender and golden.

Step 4

Divide the lentil mixture between 4 individual, or 1 large, baking or pie dish. Layer the roasted sweet potato slices on top, flipping upside down as you do. Scatter with pinches more dried thyme and bake for a further 5 minutes until pies are bubbling and potato topping golden.

While the pies finish baking boil the broccoli in a large saucepan of boiling water for 2 minutes. Add the frozen peas and boil together for a further 2 minutes before draining and serving with the pies.
