Yields1 ServingPrep Time20 minsCook Time30 minsTotal Time50 mins

You don't need to visit IKEA for a taste of Scandinavia. This comforting bowl includes the Scandinavian foods we've grown to love—without meat or dairy. Protein-packed lentil balls are nestled atop creamy mashed potatoes and served with a fruity blueberry sauce and hearty gravy. Think of it as a Scandinavian twist on a Thanksgiving meal—that comes together in under an hour!

Short on time? Use the Quick Version which relies on a few store-bought staples to speed up the process. If you have a little extra time to spare, jump to the From Scratch version for a completely homemade meal.
