Lentils With Oyster Mushrooms and Spinach

By

At Les Remparts, where classical French cuisine is interpreted with a Quebec twist, lentils complement grilled tuna. Our recipe features oyster mushrooms, a romantic touch for Valentine’s Day.

Ingredients

1 tbsp  (15 mL)  butter
1 cup  (250 mL)  sliced oyster or other mushroom
¼ cup  (50 mL)  chopped shallot or onions
1 clove garlic
¼ tsp  (1 mL)  each salt and pepper
1 tsp  (5 mL) 
½ cup  (125 mL)  du Puy or French-style lentils
1-¾ cup  (425 mL)  chicken broth
2 cups  (500 mL)  baby spinach

Preparation

Melt butter in a skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until lightly browned. Remove mushrooms from pan and reserve. Reduce heat to medium and add the shallots, garlic, salt and pepper to the pan. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Add lentils, broth and lemon peel to pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 to 35 minutes or until most of the stock has been absorbed and lentils are tender but still whole. Stir in reserved mushrooms and spinach. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes or until the spinach is wilted. Makes 2 servings.
