Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 6 large flat mushrooms
• 75 g of dry puy lentils see options below for a quick version with canned lentils
• 1 small garlic clove minced
• 1 small shallot chopped
• 1 tbsp capers rinsed and chopped
• 2 tbsp of chopped fresh parsley or chives
• 1/2 tsp of yellow mustard
• 1/2 lemon zested + juiced
• 1/2 tsp of salt

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 375F/190C/170C fan/ Gas 5.
• Remove and discard the stalks of the mushrooms ( the middle bit ) then place them, gill side up on a large baking tray.
• Sprinkle some salt and pepper and bake them in the oven for about 15-18minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the lentils into a saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until tender but still with a slight bite.
• Drain the lentils and return them to the hot pan. Immediately add the garlic, shallot, capers, parsley, mustard, and lemon juice, and zest. Add salt to taste and mix.
• Once the mushrooms are cooked, fill them up with the lentil mixture and serve them immediately.
• Of course, they can be enjoyed cold as well if you like.

Notes

For a quicker version, simply use canned lentils instead of cooking your own. Use the same method - drain them, then add the rest of the filling ingredients and mix. 

These mushrooms will keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
