Οδηγίες

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Separate flesh of sweet potatoes from skins and place in a medium-sized bowl. Discard skins. Mash together sweet potato with butter, milk and salt (I used an immersion blender to ensure smoothness). Set aside.

Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add diced onions and carrots and cook until onions are translucent about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Add cooked lentils, broth and Worcester sauce to the pot and bring to a simmer. Add spinach, thyme, bay leaf, salt and pepper and simmer until broth is absorbed. Discard bay leaf.

Transfer lentil mixture to 4 individual ramekins or a baking dish and spread an even layer of sweet potato mixture on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves if desired.
