Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown or green lentils
  • 8 oz fresh cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk or heavy cream
  • 8 oz egg noodles (or gluten-free pasta)
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Lentils and Aromatics: Rinse the lentils under cold water until the water runs clear to remove any debris. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic to get ready for sautéing.
  2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Cook Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are tender and have released their liquid, about 7 to 8 minutes.
  4. Simmer Lentils: Stir in the rinsed lentils and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
  5. Add Cream and Spices: Stir in the coconut milk or heavy cream along with paprika and dried thyme. Allow the stroganoff to simmer uncovered for 5 more minutes to thicken and let the flavors meld.
  6. Cook Pasta and Serve: Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to package instructions. Serve the lentil mushroom stroganoff hot over the cooked noodles, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute coconut milk with heavy cream or a dairy-free alternative based on preference.
  • To make this dish gluten-free, use gluten-free pasta instead of regular egg noodles.
  • Fresh parsley makes a great garnish to add color and a fresh flavor.
  • Adjust paprika quantity to control the smokiness and heat of the dish.
  • For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or tamari.
