Creamy Lentil Phyllo Dough Crusted Casserole

Into a large pan add 1 tbsp of olive oil and heat on medium for 30 seconds before adding your onions.  Cook them for 5 minutes, stir frequently.  Add celery, garlic and cherry tomatoes.  Cook for 5-10 minutes or until the celery is soft.  Add your seasoning, stock paste, soya sauce, hot sauce, thyme, cinnamon and clove.  Give it all a good stir before adding your lentils and coconut milk.  Pop the lid on and reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes.

Grease a baking dish with olive oil or butter.  Add a layer of phyllo to the base of the dish, brush the phyllo layer with either butter or oil and repeat for 5 pieces.  Pour the lentil mixture into the baking dish and then repeat the steps for the phyllo dough for the top layers of the pie.

Bake at 400F for 25 minutes or until the phyllo is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Garnish with fresh thyme and serve hot with gravy, mash, stuffing and more deliciousness!
