Mental With Lentil. Lentil Side Dish
- Ready In:
- 35mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
3-5
ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) bag dried lentils
- 1 medium size onion, diced
- 2 white mushrooms, sliced thin and diced (I like to use 'stuffing' mushrooms because they are larger)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 4 tablespoons of minced scallions
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
- 3 garlic cloves, pressed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1⁄2 cup water
directions
- First off you need to boil the lentils, just follow the directions on the back of the bag.
- While they are boiling bring a saute pan to medium heat with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Throw all the ingredients (not the lentils though) into the sauce pan and let them saute a bit.
- After about 3 minutes add the water to the sauce pan and cover it.
- Let the veggies saute for another 5 minutes on LOW heat.
- Once the lentils are at your desired softness, strain them, and add the contents of the pan.
- Add Salt and Pepper to make it just right for you. Personally I prefer nothing but the ingredients I put in, but each person is different and I recommend letting guests season it to their individual liking.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am obsessed with food, and very fond of new and exciting mixed drinks as well.
my own diet consists of 90% raw foods.
The only cooked foods I eat are usually beans, rice, barley, the occasional veggie stir fry, and a veggie/tuna/salmon burger here and there.
