Description
A delicious and creamy Lentil Mushroom Stroganoff that is easy to make and perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dried green or brown lentils, rinsed
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (any variety)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1 cup plant-based cream (such as coconut milk or cashew cream)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Cooked pasta, rice, or quinoa (for serving)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed lentils and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.
- Sauté the Veggies: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add Garlic and Mushrooms: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are softened and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the Mixture: Add the dried thyme, smoked paprika, and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Combine with Lentils: Add the cooked lentils to the skillet, mixing them with the mushroom mixture until everything is well incorporated.
- Make it Creamy: Stir in the plant-based cream, allowing it to simmer for a few minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, feel free to add a splash of vegetable broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
