This lentil mushroom stew is thick and creamy, pairing perfectly with the light and fluffy mashed cauliflower! You won't miss the carbs or dairy in this healthy and delicious meal.
Is it too early to be eating stew? As much as I love salads, I'm ready for the cool weather, pumpkin-spiced everything, and all the soups and stews. Anyone else?😅
This stew is super thick and creamy, which I love, but you can easily add more liquid to make it thinner. It's also full of vegan protein, thanks to the lentils and mushrooms!
It's served over light and creamy mashed cauliflower, making this recipe low in carbs! I honestly love mashed cauliflower, but you can substitute potatoes if that's what you prefer!
It can also be gluten free, if you substitute soy sauce for tamari or liquid aminos. It's a pretty small amount, so you won't notice the swap 🙂
I really hope you like this recipe! If you decide to make it, be sure to post a picture/story (or dm me!) and tag me @nutritiousdelights on Instagram--I'd love to see it!💗
