Lentil and Tofu Stew with Mushrooms




Over all this was a pleasant dish. The flavours are basically the same as the chicken rice casserole which I happen to be having for dinner on Thursday. Needless to say I may be sick of Italian seasoning, which is used in both dishes, by the end of the week. As with most recipes in this cookbook it was very easy to prepare and cook and was ready in about 35-40 minutes. The flavours were quite mild. I might try spicing it up a little the next time I make it.

SERVED WITH: I served this stew over a bed of brown rice.

COOKING TIPS: For some reason I just couldn't find any dried mushrooms at the grocery store this week so I had to substitute in some fresh mushrooms. To add a different flavour I choose a mixture of white and cremini mushrooms. As a result I didn't have any soaking liquid left over from re hydrating the dried mushrooms so I used an equal amount of chicken stock instead.

RATING: 7. It was hearty and certainly healthy but no as flavourful as I would have liked.
