LENTILS AND MUSHROOMS

110g (1/2 cup) Beluga black lentils, rinsed and drained

250g (9 oz) oyster mushrooms, torn into pieces

1 small clove of TournevenT organic garlic, chopped

30 ml (2 tbsp) butter

15 ml (1 tbsp) organic canola oil

50g (2 cups) baby spinach

 

SAUCE

60 ml (1/4 cup) white wine

15 ml (1 tbsp) white wine vinegar

1 shallot, finely chopped

180 ml (3/4 cup) 15% cooking cream

15 ml (1 tbsp) miso

 

SCALLOPS

20 large scallops, patted dry

15 ml (1 tbsp) TournevenT organic canola oil

15 ml (1 tbsp) butter

A few chervil leaves (optional)

 

PREPARATION

LENTILS AND MUSHROOMS

1. Wash the lentils. Cook the lentils in three times their volume of water for about 20 minutes or until tender. Drain.

2. In a large non-stick skillet over high heat, cook the mushrooms and garlic in the butter and oil until well browned. Add the cooked lentils, then the spinach, and cook, stirring, until the spinach is just wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

 

SAUCE

1. In a small saucepan, bring the wine and vinegar with the shallot to a boil. Reduce until almost dry. Over medium heat, whisk in the cream and miso. Cook for 1 minute or until the sauce is hot. Set aside.

 

SCALLOPS

1. In another non-stick skillet over high heat, sear the scallops in the oil and butter for about 2 minutes on one side. Season with salt and pepper. Turn to the other side just to warm them through.

2. Spread the creamy miso sauce in the centre of the plates. Cover with the lentils and mushrooms, then place the scallops on top. Sprinkle with chervil, if desired.
