Peel and dice the onions, carrot, garlic, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Heat the oil in a pan. Fry the onions, garlic, carrot, and thyme over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. After 6 minutes, add the tomato paste and simmer for another minute. Bring the water for the potatoes to a boil in a separate pot, then add the potatoes and simmer for about 12-15 minutes. Then mash them with a little oil. Add the soy granules and lentils to a pan and stir everything together. Add the water and simmer over medium heat for 25 minutes, until the lentils are tender. Then add the peas. Transfer the lentil mixture to a casserole dish, spread the mash over the potatoes, and then grill everything on the top rack of the oven for 5 minutes at high heat using the grill function.
