Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, blend lentils, mushrooms, walnuts, thyme, fennel, sage, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed rondeau, over medium heat, add oil and the lentil crumble mixture. Cook and brown the mixture for 4-5 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle half the flour and mix so the crumble absorbs it all, then add the remaining flour little by little, stirring constantly. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add milk and stir well until the mixture thickens, roughly 8-10 minutes. Adjust thickness with additional milk as desired.
  5. Adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot over a biscuit.
