Vegan, vegetarian
Serves 5
I had it with purple sweet potato mash, beans & toasted sourdough
Since cutting out meaty things from my diet I always thought it would be such a mission to make rich gravy-ish sauces, try this dish and I guarantee you wont feel like your missing out on anything 🙂
INGREDIENTS
3 x veggie stock cubes (dissolved in 3 cups of boiling water)
1 tbsp x fresh thyme
1 tbsp x fresh sage
2 x brown onions
2 cloves x garlic
2 sticks x celery
5 x Portobello mushrooms
3 x carrots
4 tbsp x Worcestershire sauce (vegetarian one)
1 can x lentils or equivalent of fresh cooked lentils
2 tbsp x flour
2 tbsp x corn starch
1/2 cup x red wine
1 tbsp x olive oil
1 tsp x salt
1 tsp x black pepper
METHOD
- Finely chop the onions, garlic, celery and carrot. Fry in the olive oil for approx 5 mins until the onion is translucent.
- Add the sliced mushrooms in the pan along with the flour for one min and then add wine, Worcestershire and stock.
