    How to Prepare Creamy Mushroom Lentils with Barley and Spinach [Vegan]

    1. Prepare, chop and measure all ingredients.
    2. In a large deep skillet on stove top, heat olive oil over medium heat.
    3. Add mushrooms, onion and garlic. Adjust or lower heat and sauté for 3 minutes until soft.
    4. Add the the barley and lentils and sauté for 1 minute.
    5. Add rosemary and vegetable stock or broth. Mix and raise heat. When it reaches the boiling point, immediately lower heat to a simmer. Allow to simmer on stove top with a lid on for 30 minutes, or until the barley and lentils have softened, stirring from time to time, as seen below.
    6. Add the coconut cream (or cream of choice) and the lemon juice and mix to combine. Then add the nutritional yeast (or Parmesan) and mix on low heat until incorporated.
    7. Add the spinach and toss and turn on low heat until the spinach wilts, about 3 minutes.
    8. Serve immediately. The sauce does thicken with time.
    9. Store leftovers in a sealed container in refrigerator.  It keeps well for several days.
    10. Enjoy!
