The First Mess, Creamy French Lentils with Mushrooms and Kale
Why do I like it?
I was scrolling through Facebook and a post from This Rawsome Vegan Life caught my eye. The photo of green lentils with mushrooms looked good, so I clicked through to the recipe. It took me to the blog called The First Mess. I liked the list of ingredients and went ahead and tried the recipe.
It turned out great! The flavor was deep and complex and very delicious. There is a bit of prep work, but if you have everything washed, measured out and ready it will help.
Any recipe notes or tweaks?
This recipe calls for white wine, but the author also gives alternatives of white wine vinegar or lemon juice. I opted for lemon juice. I didn't have any fresh kale, so I used fresh spinach. I did use olive oil, however, I have learned that if the pan is heated first you can sauté without oil if trying to avoid.
I added a bit of fresh thyme and a drop of coconut milk to garnish.
