A creamy and comforting dish made with lentils and mushrooms, perfect for a hearty meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dried green or brown lentils, rinsed and drained
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 ounces egg noodles or your favorite pasta
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine lentils and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until lentils are tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are browned.
- Stir in dried thyme, paprika, and soy sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes to combine flavors.
- Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Gradually add vegetable broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and let it thicken for about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the cooked lentils and sour cream (or yogurt). Mix until well combined and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Meanwhile, cook egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Serve the stroganoff over the cooked noodles, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, substitute egg noodles with gluten-free pasta or serve over rice.
- Add a splash of white wine for extra depth of flavor while cooking the mushrooms.
