This vegan shepherd's pie is comforting, healthy, delicious and really easy to make. You can also make it in batches to freeze and serve when you don't have much time to cook. We used lentils to make ours, but you could use chickpeas instead, if you'd prefer. Serve with fresh cilantro if desired.

  • coconut oil: 1 Tbsp
  • red onion: 1 piece (chopped)
  • white onion: 1 piece (chopped)
