Background
This pan-fried mushroom with leek, tomato and lentil can be served as a vegan main dish (on toast, with bread, rice or pasta); or as a side dish with grilled fish/meat. It’s healthy and hearty and very easy to make. You can use other fresh herbs (rosemary, parsley, chives, dill etc) and cider vinegar would work too.
