Warm Mushroom and Black Lentil Salad

A wholesome, satisfying dish for anyone who loves to eat well! Tasty, hearty, fragrant, and a little out of the ordinary — that sums up one of my favorite vegetarian salads, made with black lentils and pine nuts. You can serve it as a main course, too. It wins you over from the very first bite with its unusual character and intriguing mix of ingredients, and it's incredibly good for you.

  • I want to point out that this dish features two especially nourishing ingredients that do your body a world of good. The first is black lentils, also known as beluga lentils — a favorite that vegetarians use all the time. The second is pine nuts, whose makeup is genuinely impressive: they support your overall well-being. So let's get cooking. Here's what to do: 1. Finely chop the washed, trimmed mushrooms and fry them in butter with salt and pepper until done. They should be soft and golden, with all the excess liquid cooked off. 2. Peel the onion and cut it into large cubes. Fry it slowly in olive oil until golden. 3. Cover the lentils with vegetable broth (or cold water), add salt, bring to a boil, and cook for 20 minutes. The lentils should be tender but not mushy. 4. Combine all the cooked ingredients and add salt if needed. 5. Lay a bed of arugula on a platter and pile the mushroom, lentil, and onion mixture on top. 6. Toss the pine nuts and capers together and scatter them over the top. Serve the dish warm, generously garnished with chopped garlic chives or green onion. Enjoy!
