Ingredients

6 small or 4 large sweet potatoes sliced lengthwise
2-3 zucchinis skins peeled (skins do not soften up and do not mash well), cut in thirds
6 large carrots cut in half
2-3 fresh beets halved (You can also buy the freshly cooked beets. If using fresh, do not add to the pressure cooker)
1 cup lentils canned or cooked
3 Tbsps. Creamy Peanut Butter do not use natural – I use Skippy or Jif
1 package frozen peas cooked
Optional Ingredients:
Frozen spinach cooked and finely chopped
One cup cooked rice
3 Tablespoons Nutritional Yeast

Instructions

Place two inches of water in the bottom, add potatoes, zucchinis, beets, and carrots. Set to high pressure for 40 minutes. You can set to warm for up to an hour, Release steam and set aside.
Remove ingredients from the pressure cooker. Remove the skins from the sweet potatoes and beets and add to a very large mixing bowl.

Add the lentils. If you cooked them yourself, add about one cup. If you are adding canned, rinse them in a colander for a few minutes to ensure all salt has been washed off. If you purchased cooked beets, add them now, with the peanut butter and peas.

Using a potato masher or large spoon, stir and mash the mixture until you see no large lumps. Store enough in the fridge for the current week and freeze a the rest in worth in individual weekly containers.
