How to Make Hearty Savory French Lentil Rice Mushroom Stew

  • Prep the Veggies: Start by dicing the onions, chopping the carrots, and slicing the mushrooms to create a colorful base for your stew.
  • Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onions and minced garlic, sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Add Carrots and Mushrooms: Toss in the chopped carrots and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are browned, about 8 minutes.
  • Combine Lentils and Rice: Stir in rinsed French lentils and brown rice, allowing them to cook together for about 2 minutes.
  • Pour in Broth: Add vegetable broth, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-35 minutes.
  • Finish Off: Remove from heat, discard bay leaves, and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Optional: Drizzle with lemon juice.

Notes

Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to five days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water to maintain moisture.
