Spicy Mushroom Lentil Bolognese

Can mix whichever vegetables and it will still be yummy!

Amazing taste. I used standard tinned chopped tomatoes and added a couple of chopped frozen green ginger chillies to compensate for the fire-roasted ones in the recipe. Oh and I didn't have any tomato paste (puree) so I used the equivalent amount of passata and added 1 1/2 tbsp of tomato powder to get the strength of taste. Overall it was Yummy!!

This sounds amazing, Steve! Love how you improvised with the chillies, passata, and tomato powder - such clever swaps ✨

Loved this! I don't think we get fire-roasted tomatoes, so just made do with tinned tomatoes which I crushed and added a pinch of smoked paprika and a chilli. I'd definitely add more chilli next time or use a hotter variety, as it was a bit mild for my taste. The mushrooms and lentils make a filling almost meaty sauce and this was such a satisfying meal.

So happy to hear that you enjoyed the recipe, and what a lovely idea to use tinned tomatoes with spices! Thanks, Rob 😊

Can you sub green lentils for brown lentils?

PUL Team - Oct. 28, 2024, 1:33 a.m.

Hey Shivani, yes, you can substitute green lentils for brown lentils if you’d like 🙂

Awesome recipe

So yummy!

A hearty and delicious meal - perfect for a cozy, rainy weekday meal. We added some walnuts and nutritional yeast to the sauce and it tasted perfectly!

Nice recipe! Took me a little more time due to the cutting, but was worth it and made a whole batch to enjoy for a few days. Also used some leftover zucchini and carrot, great that this recipe allows for that. Recommended for batch cooking to prep for the week ahead 🤗 Thanks Sadia for continuously making our lives a little easier and tastier with this app and your recipes 🙏🏻

Hiya Joanne & Tijs, we're smiling from ear to ear reading this! Thanks for your support and welcoming us into your kitchen 🤗

Second time a round, yummy 😋 this one is for keeps.

Very generic tasting sauce. It wasn’t bad, not at all - Bbut PUL team usually pulls together a vegan masterpiece, and this sauce was very forgettable.

Hey Inu, we're sad to hear this recipe didn't meet expectations. Did you make any substitutions to the recipe? It's one of our favourites on busy nights! Hope you enjoy the other recipes on the app more 🤗

Really nice, thoroughly enjoyed.

Deliciousness in a bowl 😋 thank you. The fact I can freeze the leftovers is great. You guys are awesome.

Easy yet very tasteful and packed with nutrients! Loved it!

I loved it so much

.

Loved this gorgeous recipe! 🦋

Sooo tasty!!

Great taste and easy to make. It took me a while to prep since I had to have cooked lentils and chopped ingredients, but overall very easy to follow.

Extremely delicious and easy! You can use more sugar if you want (or less) and it will still taste amazing!

YUM!!!!! Another gorgeous recipe from PUL. Didn’t think I was a brown lentil girly but I was proved wrong with this bolognese. Having so much fun experimenting with new foods and flavours with this app 💕 Thank you so much for this recipe!!!

Woohoo - welcome to the world of brown lentils, Naomi 😜 so glad that the bolognese was enjoyed!

This pasta tastes amazing ! Very easy and quick dinner. A very nice twist on a Bolognese 😍 will make it more often

Woohoo! Thanks, Kayah :)

Awesome recipe… added grated carrots and celery as well and used passata sauce instead of diced tomatoes tasted great even got compliments from our weight trainer member of the family!!

What a big compliment, Lorist! Thank you 😊

Very strong flavors with the Italian herbs. Would have wanted it to have more of a thicker sauce base.

PUL Team - Jan. 11, 2024, 7:20 p.m.

Hey Laura, thank you for the feedback! Italian spice mix can vary, we used our homemade version in case it helps: https://www.pickuplimes.com/r…. If you give this sauce another go, after step 3, you could blend half of it before adding the lentils and spinach for a thicker base if you'd like 🤗

Super tasty and quick to whip up on a weekday!

This dish was so tasty, as per usual. I didn’t add the sugar and it was still very good. This is a very nice, quick and easy recipe and I’ll definitely be making this again!

So glad that the recipe was enjoyed, Karolien! Happy cooking 🤗

Another cracking recipe! Really enjoyed this even if my tomatoes were a bit light on the chilli 😂 This was quick and easy, so tasty and filling, perfect for cooking after work. I do enjoy the minimal chopping!

We're so glad that the Spicy Mushroom Lentil Bolognese was enjoyed, Rob! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with it 🥰

Tej flavour od good but my stomach didnt like it. I dont know why.

Hey Magda, oh no! If you're not feeling your best after a meal, it's possible that one of the ingredients may have gone bad. If you're new to incorporating fibre-rich foods like lentils into your diet, it's also a good idea to slowly increase your intake and make sure you're staying well-hydrated. You can find more information on managing discomfort in our article here: pickuplimes.com/article/bloat…. If you continue to feel off, it's best to reach out to a medical professional for personalized support 🙂

Nice recipe, I will probably make it again

So delicious and satisfying! I added chili flakes to make it spicy. Yum!

This is so satisfying with minimal tweaks. My sauce turned out a little too sweet at first so I just added more salt and a pinch of nutritional yeast. Next time I may also experiment with leaving out the sugar and seeing how it impacts the taste.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the recipe, Nicole! Happy cooking 😃

Lovely, but 1 jar of sun dried tomatoes (uitlekgewicht 180g) enough as they really have a strong taste.

Excellent recipe as usual!!

So flavorful!!

Delicious and easy to make! Will definitely make this again!

So tasty!!

Delicious recipe to get back to vegan cooking. Loved it!

Very tasty
Will cook again
