Spiced Mushroom Lentil Hotpot Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat half the oil in a medium saucepan. Fry the onion for 3 mins, then add the mushrooms. Cook for another 3 mins, then increase the heat and add the garlic, ground cumin and paprika, and cook for 1 min. Remove from the heat and add the lentils, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and 100ml water. Season, then tip the mixture into a casserole dish.
• Rinse the saucepan and return to the hob. Add a kettle full of boiled water and bring back to the boil over a high heat. Add the potato slices, cook for 3 mins, then drain. Arrange on top of the lentils, then brush with the remaining oil. Roast in the oven for 25 mins until the potatoes are golden, then scatter over the thyme before serving.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and mushroom; cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in potato, lentils, garlic, parsley, fennel greens, salt, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and turmeric. Pour in water; stir to mix. Turn heat to medium-low and simmer until flavors are combined, about 45 minutes.

• Gently fry onion, cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, garlic, & mushrooms in oil.
• Add remaining ingredients, except for salt and fresh coriander.
• Simmer for about an hour.
• Add salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Bring 3 cups of water to a boil and add lentils, reduce heat to a slow rolling boil for approximately 30 minutes, or till tender. Drain, cool and separate volume into 1½ cups and ½ cup measures.
• Place flax seeds in a small bowl and pour boiling water over, stir to combine well, set aside and allow to cool and thicken.
• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Heat olive oil over medium heat and a large saucepan. Add onion and garlic, sauté for approximately 6 minutes, until the onions are tender. Add carrots and mushrooms and continue to cook for approximately 4 minutes until carrots and mushrooms are tender. Add thyme and spinach, cooking approximately 2 minutes until spinach is wilted. Add in Braggs and ½ cup of the Spicy BBQ Sauce - combine all ingredients by stirring. Turn the heat off and add salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
• Using a food processor, process 1½ cups of the cooked lentils and ½ cup of the oats until smooth, (if there are a few bits remaining, that's ok), place mixture in a large bowl. Add in remaining lentils and oats. Add the flax mixture, almond flour and cooked vegetable mixture. Stir to combine and then use your hands to finish mixing and slightly mashing together. All ingredients are now together and ready to spoon into a 9"x5" loaf pan. Make certain you press the mixture into the loaf pan firmly.
• Spread ¼ cup of BBQ sauce on top of the lentil loaf.
• Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes and cool for approximately 10 minutes before serving.
