Elevate Bolognese as a savory vegetarian dish with lentils, red wine, mushrooms, and spices for a rich and flavorful twist.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed and finely chopped
  • 0.5 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, cut into small cubes
  • 0.5 cup thinly sliced mushrooms
  • 0.5 cup red wine
  • 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 (15 ounce) can green lentils, drained
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon mixed dried herbs, or to taste
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
Instructions:
  • In a large pot over medium heat, heat up the olive oil. Add in the onion and garlic, and sauté until soft, which takes about 5 minutes. Mix in the bell pepper and carrot, cooking for another 4 to 5 minutes. Then add the mushrooms, continue to cook and stir until they soften, which should take about 2 minutes.
  • Simmer wine until slightly reduced for about 1 minute. Add diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring sauce to a boil, then simmer to let flavors meld, for 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in lentils, paprika, basil, oregano, mixed herbs, and nutmeg; cook until lentils are heated through, about 5 minutes.
