Team lunch called for pies again, and this time I went with the Mentil Lentil from Peaked Pies. I love how this spot always has a solid vegetarian option that doesn't feel like an afterthought.
Peaked Pies, Team Lunch
Featured Item: Mentil Lentil Pie ($14.38)
Dietary: Vegetarian
Verdict: Hearty, saucy, and comforting. Tastes like a good spaghetti sauce baked into flaky pastry.
This one is packed with tender lentils, sweet zucchini, earthy carrot, and crisp celery, all simmered in a rich chili basil tomato sauce. It's honestly reminiscent of a good spaghetti sauce, hearty, saucy, and well-seasoned with just enough heat to keep things interesting. On top of that filling sits a generous dollop of creamy parmesan ricotta mix that melts into the sauce as you cut through the flaky pastry shell.

| Mentil Lentil: hearty filling with a creamy ricotta surprise. |
Honestly, I'd happily eat this exact filling tossed over a bowl of pasta. It's that good, comforting, saucy, and full of healthy goodness without skimping on flavour.
