Lentils with Caramelized Onions and Mushrooms
Earthy lentils simmered until tender and topped with sweet caramelized onions and savory mushrooms — a fiber-rich, plant-based dinner that's as comforting as it is healthy.
Preparation
1
Rinse the lentils and cook in vegetable broth according to package instructions, about 20-25 minutes, until tender. Drain any excess liquid.
2
Meanwhile, heat half the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat and add the sliced onions.
3
Cook the onions slowly, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes until deeply golden and caramelized.
4
Push the onions to one side, add the remaining oil and the sliced mushrooms, and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned.
5
Stir in the garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper, and cook for 1 more minute.
6
Combine the cooked lentils with the onion-mushroom mixture and toss to combine.
7
Serve warm, drizzled with a little extra olive oil if desired.
