A hearty and nutritious stew packed with protein-rich lentils and flavorful mushrooms, perfect for cozy nights in.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup lentils
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Sauté the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, then add the diced onions and garlic, and sauté until the onions are translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
  2. Add the diced carrots and celery, cooking for another 5 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Cook the sliced mushrooms in the pot until they’re tender and have released their moisture, around 5-7 minutes.
  4. Combine the rinsed lentils with the vegetable broth, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  5. Simmer the mixture by bringing it to a boil, then reducing the heat to low and letting it simmer for about 25-30 minutes until the lentils are tender.
  6. Season to taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot.

Notes

For a creamier texture, use red or yellow lentils. You can also add fresh herbs before serving for extra flavor.
