Lentil salad with mushrooms
Description
The recipe won't take much time. For preparing lentil salad with mushrooms, I recommend using button mushrooms. They are easy to cook—no pre-boiling is required, and fresh button mushrooms don't even need peeling. Moreover, they are readily available even in winter. Now, let's look at the step-by-step recipe for lentil and mushroom salad: 1. Rinse the lentils under cold water. Soak them for one to two hours. Boil the lentils until cooked, about 15–20 minutes. Once ready, transfer them to a separate bowl. 2. Wash the mushrooms under cold water and cut them into four pieces. 3. Peel the carrot with a knife and grate it. 4. Peel the onion and slice it into half-rings. 5. Crush the garlic. 6. Now cook the vegetables. Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil. Add the onion and carrot. Sauté until golden brown. 7. Add the mushrooms, spinach, salt, pepper, and sour cream. Mix well and simmer for a few minutes. Then transfer everything from the pan into the pot with lentils. Add the crushed garlic and fresh herbs, and mix again. The salad is ready. Serve it at the table.
