Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
Made this tonight and followed recipe fairly closely, but added more mushrooms. The one ingredient I’ll leave out when I make it the next time is the maple syrup. It adds a sweetness that, in my opinion, doesn’t complement the other flavors. Other than that, it is a marvelous recipe that I’ll definitely make again.
We are delighted to hear you tried out this recipe, Babs! Love your insight about the maple syrup! Maybe you can try with coconut nectar next time, or cut out the added sweetness altogether! Cooking is an adventure and one should always be open to adjusting and experimenting on their own as you are! Love it!
My son hates textured sauces is there anyway I can blend the sauce out and it still works out ? I’m trying it now it smells amazing ❤️
Hi Jennifer! Taste wise, blending it should definitely work. That said, the lentils might make it a bit thick and more soup-like, so you might need to experiment with blending it either with or without the lentils and/or adding a little extra liquid like vegetable broth.
