Portobello Mushroom & Potato Stew with Lentils

September 27, 2020 By Kaitlin McGinn Leave a Comment

Warm & comforting Vegan Mushroom Potato Stew with Lentils! Richly flavorful and packed with satisfying plant-based nutrients. (Vegan, gluten-free, oil-free.)

Let’s get our comfort food on! This hearty, satisfying stew is like a warm hug in a bowl. It combines chunky carrots & potatoes with lentils and tender mushrooms… all swimming in a rich, savory broth. This recipe is similar to my Rustic Lentil & Potato Soup but I wanted to post this tasty variation as well. The lentil-mushroom-potato combination is one of my favorites; especially when the weather is chilly.

However, if you’re not a fan of mushrooms, simply omit them and add extra lentils (using about 3/4 cup to 1 cup total). We love that variation as well. This is a great meal for leftovers as I find the flavors are just as good (if not better) the next day after they’ve had a chance to blend and intensify. Hope you enjoy as much as we do!

Servings:5 medium bowls

Ingredients

US Customary – Metric
  • 1 onion
  • 1 large carrot
  • 3 medium gold potatoes (about 1 lb.)
  • 2 large portobello mushrooms (or 8 oz. cremini/button)
  • 1/2 cup green/brown lentils
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 3 Tbsp. tomato paste
  • 2 Tbsp. tamari
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder

Optional:

  • Fresh parsley for serving
  • Spinach or kale, to stir in at the end

Instructions

  • Dice onion and carrot. Cut potato into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch cubes. Slice portobello mushrooms.
  • In a stockpot over medium-high heat, saute onion for 6-7 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. broth/water for no-oil saute method, adding more liquid as needed.)
  • When onions are translucent, add garlic powder, carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms. Stir and saute for 2 minutes.
  • Add 4 cups broth, tomato paste, and tamari. Rinse lentils well and add to pot.
  • Increase heat to bring to a light boil.
  • Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 25-30 minutes or until lentils are cooked through.
  • Salt/pepper to taste as needed (or add more tamari). Garnish with fresh parsley before serving if desired.

Notes

Additions/variations: leeks, celery, spinach/kale, bay leaves (remove before serving) or other herbs like thyme, rosemary, parsley, etc.
This is a great meal for leftovers as it tastes even better the next day as the flavors blend & intensify.
If you’re not a fan of mushrooms, simply omit and increase lentils to about 3/4 cup or 1 cup (depending on desired thickness).
