Pea, lentil and mushroom risotto

  • SHARE
This is a really easy recipe and it basically just happened one evening when I had a few leftovers and didn't want to spend much time in the kitchen. I started cooking and put a few ingredients together I thought would work well and it indeed worked really well!

As I wasn't really paying much attention this recipe doesn't have super exact measurements, but don't worry it's really dead easy to make yourself. Use roughly three parts rice, two parts peas and 1 part lentils and then season to taste with a stock cube, a splash of soy sauce, some lemon juice, pepper and sage.


For this recipe I used my favourite lentils - beluga lentils which I bought in a cooked pack ready to eat. I normally only use half the pack and freeze the rest - my cousin told me that frozen pulses are actually easier to digest anyway. It might be a myth but it works for me. You can also cook beluga lentils from scratch, freeze and then use them whenever you need them, they freeze really well.

METHOD:

Finely chop up an onion and sauté together with the mushrooms in a pan with a bit of oil.


Add the frozen peas first and then all other ingredients plus a bit of water. Cook for a few minutes and season to taste with some lemon juice (just a bit as it helps to bring out flavour), a splash of soy sauce, black pepper, a veggie stock cube and sage.


That's it! Super easy, full of goodness and protein.

Enjoy!
