Turnip and Lentil Pie

 
 TURNIP AND LENTIL PIE
 
 This is a recipe given to me by granny, who said it was something they ate
 during the war. It sounds like economy food with a vengeance, but topped with
 some sort of sauce (apple or tomato go quite well) it's really nice !
 
 8oz red lentils             2 egg whites
 3/4 pint water12oz grated turnip (about 3 small ones)
 4oz wholewheat breadcrumbs
 
 Cook the lentils until tender, and all the water absorbed.
 Preheat the oven to Gas 6, 200C, 400F
 Mix all the ingredients together and spoon into a shallow casserole dish.
 Season as required.
 Level the top.
 Bake until the top is lightly browned (30-40 mins)
 
 serve with steamed veggies...... Delicious !
