Italian Roasted Mushrooms + Chicken

In this comforting vegan meal full of Italian flavors, a savory stew of French green lentils simmered with spinach, tomato sauce, and aromatics is studded with meaty portobello mushrooms roasted with onion, garlic, fennel, and basil. Carrots infused with garlic three ways (roasted, fresh, and granulated) are served on the side, along with sweet pearl onions with a hint of earthiness courtesy of ancho chile powder and smoked paprika.
