Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon oil
  • 1 red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 yellow pepper, thinly sliced
  • ~ 6 medium mushrooms, finely diced
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
  • 250 g (~ 1 2/3 cups) cooked puy lentils
  • 390 g tin green lentils, drained (235g, or ~ 1 1/3 cups, when drained)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons sour cream
  • 125 ml (~ 1/2 cup) water or vegetable stock
  • Small handful fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan, and add the finely chopped red onion. Cook over a medium heat for a few minutes, then add the thinly sliced pepper and the diced mushrooms. Cook for 5 more minutes, stirring regularly, until all the vegetables are soft.

  • At this point, you may like to add some water or vegetable stock to make the stroganoff a bit more saucy. I added about 125ml (half a cup). Also add the chopped parsley. Simmer until everything is piping hot and you are ready to serve.
