Lentil & Mushroom Ground Beef
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cooked brown lentils
- 8 oz. mushrooms
- 1/2 cup diced onions or shallots*
- 4 cloves minced garlic
Marinade / Paste
- 1 Tbsp Tomato Paste
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp Miso Paste
- 1 tsp Vegan Worcestershire
- 1 tsp vegan beef or veggie broth concentrate
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp nutritional yeast
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients for the marinade / paste.
- You can chop your mushrooms by hand or with a food processor. Just get them into pieces that are slightly larger than what you'd expect in ground beef since they will shrink a bit.
- If using fresh onions / shallots, add them to a preheated pan over medium heat in a little oil. Saute for about 5 - 6 minutes or until translucent and slightly browned.
- Add in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add in the mushrooms and cook for about 6 - 8 minutes or until they have shrunk and released all their water.
- Stir in the cooked lentils and seasoning marinade / paste. Once heated through, season to taste, and you are done, enjoy your Lentil & Mushroom Ground Beef however you'd like!
Notes
*You can substitute the onions / shallots and garlic for 1 tsp each of onion and garlic powder
**To make this soy free, use 2 Tbsp of Coconut Aminos instead of soy sauce and miso paste.
