With the cost of meat rising, this is a delicious, cost-effective alternative.
Supplies:
- 1 onion
- 8 oz chopped mushrooms
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- pinch red pepper flakes
- 3 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (or vegetable broth)
- 1 cup lentils
- 1 14.5 oz. can tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- salt and pepper, to taste
Steps:
- Sauté one onion in olive oil with salt and pepper to taste, covered, for 4 minutes on medium heat.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add 8 ounces of chopped mushrooms. Cook for 8-10 minutes, uncovered.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add 2 chopped garlic cloves and a pinch or two of red pepper flakes. Cook a minute.
- Add 3 Tbsp. tomato paste and cook 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of dry white wine (I used vegetable broth) and scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add 1 cup of lentils, one 14.5 ounce can of tomatoes, and 2 cups of broth (I used vegetable.) Bring to boil, reduce heat, and simmer 25-30 minutes until the lentils are done. Serve over rice or pasta.
