Oyster Mushroom and Lentil One Pot Meal

Ingredients

200 g lentils, 400 g small oyster mushrooms, 1 red onion, 2 bay leaves, salt, pepper, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1 beetroot, 6 tbsp olive oil

Preparation

Peel and slice the beetroot, then cut it into smaller pieces. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a pot and sauté the beetroot for 6-8 minutes, seasoning with salt towards the end. Soak the lentils in water for 2 hours, then drain them. Cook the lentils in enough water to cover them. Add the beetroot and simmer until the lentils are soft. Season with salt, pepper, and add the chopped mushrooms. Continue to simmer for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Tip

For those who enjoy more exotic flavors, you can use black cumin instead of the traditional one. Additionally, meat lovers can substitute the beetroot with ham.
