Boil the lentils in water with the bay leaves until they are tender. Saute the carrots, celery, onions, garlic, mushrooms, and thyme in the olive oil until tender. Season with freshly ground black pepper and salt. Drain the lentils and add them to the vegetable mixture, along with the frozen peas, and heat through. Mix the arrowroot starch with the chicken broth and Worchestershire sauce, and pour over the lentil mixture and stir until thickened. Boil the chopped sweet potatoes in water until mashable. Drain, mash, and season with milk, butter, salt, and pepper to your liking. Pour the lentil mixture into the bottom of a glass baking pan, and spread evenly. Gently top the lentils with the mashed sweet potatoes, so that they stay on top and don't mix in. Try to make an even layer of sweet potatoes over the top of the lentils. Bake in 375 degree oven until the sweet potatoes on top start to brown. (Abt. 15 minutes)Serving Size:?Makes about 8-10, 3/4 cup servings
