LENTIL IT SIMMER
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the rinsed lentils in a pot. Submerge in 300ml of water, pop on a lid, and place over a medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until slightly softened but not cooked through.
SKEWERS
Place the skewers in a shallow dish, cover with water, and allow to soak for 10 minutes (this prevents them from burning when over the heat).
CARAMELISATION STATION
Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced Onion for 4-5 minutes until turning brown, shifting regularly. On completion, turn up the heat slightly and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until crisped, then remove the pan from the heat.
GET IN THE MIX
When the lentils have finished simmering, add the rinsed rice and the stock to the pot with the lentils. Bring back up to a simmer and replace the lid. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice and lentils are cooked. Keeping the lid on, remove the pot from the heat and set aside to steam for about 5 minutes.
SKEWER MY HEART
While the lentils and rice are simmering, coat the halved mushrooms in a drizzle of oil and ¾ of the rub (to taste). Thread the mushrooms onto a skewer, making sure they are secure. Repeat with the remaining skewers until both the skewers are full. Place on a greased baking tray. Pop in the hot oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until mushrooms are soft and cooked through.
