  1. ENJOY THE LENTIL THINGS IN LIFE

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the drained lentils and brown for 9-10 minutes until heated through and crisping up. For the best results, only shift occasionally. On completion, set ¼ of the crisp lentils aside for Step 2. Place the remaining lentils in a bowl along with the chopped dates, the diced cucumber, the juice from 1 lemon wedge, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Toss until combined and set aside.

  2. FLAVOURFUL FILLING

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion and the grated garlic and fry for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and soft, shifting occasionally. Add the reserved lentils, the rinsed spinach, seasoning, and ½ of the breadcrumbs. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

  3. SAY CHEESE!

    In a small bowl, combine the grated Italian-style cheese, the remaining breadcrumbs, and the grated mozzarella.

  4. PUT THE STUFFIES IN THE MUSHIES

    Lightly coat the mushrooms with oil and place onto a baking tray, stem-side up. Stuff each mushroom with the onion & spinach filling. Sprinkle over the cheesy topping and bake in the hot oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and the mushrooms are cooked through.

  5. YUMMO!

    Pile up the lentil salad and serve the stuffed mushrooms alongside. Garnish with the chopped chives and serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Happy munching, Chef!
