Puy Lentils with Mushrooms and Spinach

Puy lentils are supposedly the finest lentils. In combination with mushrooms, spinach and a touch of Parmesan sauce, they delight every pallet.

Preparation time: 8 minutes || Cooking time: 12 minutes

You'll need:

   - Olive oil: 2 tablespoons

   - Onion: 1

   - Garlic: 2 cloves

   - Mushrooms: 250gm

   - Puy lentils: (cooked) 250gm

   - Spinach: 200gm

   - Double cream: 100ml

   - Parmesan cheese: 25gm

   - Lemon juice: from 1 lemon

   - Salt and pepper to taste

First, chop the onion, crush the garlic cloves, slice the mushrooms and grate the Parmesan cheese.

Place a frying pan over medium heat, add the oil and saute the onion for approximately 5 minutes, until it gets soft. Add the mushrooms and fry for a further 4 minutes, until golden brown; add the garlic and cook for a further minute.

Increase the heat, add the lentils and spinach and cook for 2 minutes, stirring regularly. Once done, remove from heat, add the cream, Parmesan and lemon juice and stir until the cheese has melted.

Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.
