Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a round casserole dish.  

In a saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion & garlic;
cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the flour
until absorbed. Add the broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook,
stirring, until mixture comes to a boil. Stir in the cooked lentils
and mixed vegetables and spoon into casserole dish.

Top with mashed potatoes, spreading evenly over top, leaving an
air-hole in the middle. Alternatively, place potatoes in a large
pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the potatoes around the
edge of the casserole dish.  

Bake 40 minutes or until potatoes brown on top.
