Lentil Stuffed Balsamic Mushrooms
Serves 2 | 45 Minutes
Directions
- Night before: Completely cover the Le Puy lentils in water and soak overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Wash the mushrooms. Gently remove the stems and gills with a spoon.
- Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper in a bowl. Add the mushrooms and toss. Marinate about 15 minutes, flipping every few minutes.
- Prepare the filling. Drain the water from the lentils. Finely chop the artichoke hearts and garlic. Pat any excess oil off the sun-dried tomatoes and finely chop.
- Heat 2 tsp of oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes and lentils. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant and the lentils are soft.
- Remove from heat. Crumble the vegan feta (setting aside a few tablespoons for topping) and stir into the lentil mixture.
- Remove the mushrooms from the marinade and tap off any excess. Place the mushrooms, caps facing upward, on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Evenly divide the lentil mixture into the mushroom caps. Bake for 10–15 minutes. They will be done when the vegan feta is looking golden.
- While the mushrooms are roasting, toast the pine nuts until golden in a small pan over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Remove the mushrooms from the oven. Top with vegan feta, pine nuts, a squeeze of lemon and freshly chopped parsley.
- Best enjoyed fresh.
