Is it necessary to put in a tablespoonful of brown sugar in lentil vegetarian shepherd's pie!
I've never had veg shepherd's pie before and the idea of a lentil one sounds yummy!. I got a recipe on the TV, but can't imagine putting sugar in!Www@FoodAQ@Com

NO it is not necessary!.!. but I always follow a recipe completely the 1st !.time!. Sugar takes the acid off things like tomatoes!.!. not seeing the recipe I can't judge why they have it in there!. I doubt you really taste that little!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
i made a veg shepards pie and i didn't use sugar!.!.!.!. you can probably find a different recipe or just skip it if you don't like the idea of adding it!. i basically used a regular recipe that called for meat and subbed in veggie ground meat instead!. it was delcious!. good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Such ingredients are not really necessay!.
But if I were you, I'd follow the recipe first then adjust next time according to your taste!.
Agree with other posters!. it won't make the dish sweet like a dessert!.More than likely it would tame strong but unpleasant flavors or enhance weak but good flavorsWww@FoodAQ@Com

If it is tomato based as well then a small spoonful of sugar (tsp) will intensify the flavour of the tomatoes and make it slightly less bitter (especially if using tinned tomatoes), but I have never put sugar in anything else that contain lentils such as soup or curry!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
We make this loads and I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would suggest putting sugar in!. I use a pinch or two of salt, lots of ground black pepper and plenty of herbs like parsley and basil to season!. Enjoy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
That amount of sugar wont sweeten it, it'll just take some of the bitterness off the lentils!. I often use sugar when i use tin tomatoes because it take the bitterness off!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I agree that it might take off some of the bitterness!. I wouldn't use brown sugar, though!. I'd use brown rice syrup!. :) Www@FoodAQ@Com
itll just add to the taste!.!.!. it wont make it sweet like a cake, just put it inWww@FoodAQ@Com
