Stewed lentils, oyster mushrooms and spinach {vegan – sans gluten}
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snowww… Non non ne vous inquiétez pas je ne suis pas folle mais pour ce premier jour de décembre (oui je sais c’est un scoop) et bien il neige, la toute première neige de l’année (Jean-Pierre Pernault sort de ce corps !) et moi je suis comme une enfant de 4 ans, je reste collée à la fenêtre pour admirer ce spectacle le sourire aux lèvres ! Bref après ce chapitre météo, je vous propose de nous pencher sur la recette du jour, un mijoté de lentilles, car oui ma bonne dame, déjà les températures négatives apparaissent que je sors les recettes de Grand mère revues et corrigées vegan (yes because Grandma she, she would have put bacon in it of course !). This little lentil stew is the kind of comforting little dish that warms our bodies and, personally, is the kind of dish I like, because it’s a bit of our lentil dal French-style !
Eat with the best bread you will find, grilled in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil and scraped with a clove of garlic if you want to take the indulgence a little further !
- 400 g of blond lentils
- 400 g oyster mushrooms
- 300 g fresh spinach

- 1 handful of dried porcini mushrooms (optional)

- In a pot, brown the chopped onion in cubes with a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the oyster mushrooms into strips then add them to the onions..
- Deglaze with white wine, let it cook 5 minute then add the broth.
- Add the dried porcini mushrooms, bay leaf and lentils, bring to a boil then simmer over low heat for approximately 1 hour.

- Serve with good bread.

Thank you for your delicious recipes.! 🙂
I have a quick question : is it possible to replace white wine with something else?
Thanks in advance!

It's broken
21.12.20I've already done it 3 To 4 times, it's diabolical and terribly additive …
As I am not a fan of porcini mushrooms, except for making juice, I replaced with morels, sumptuous !!!
I plan to make it again for New Year's Day, because for me it is as much a festive dish, just a dish to enjoy when it’s cold, the snow, too bad it's not for us … But we can hope !
Thank you for this wonderful recipe, you have a gift for making a simple dish extraordinary
