Make

  1. Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
  2. Toss green beans with cooking oil (portion for beans), vinegar, red pepper flakes, and some salt and pepper. Spread on a sheet pan and roast, shaking pan halfway through cooking, until beans are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  3. When green beans have been roasting for about 10 minutes, heat a large saute pan with oil (portion for stroganoff) over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and saute until mushrooms are deep golden brown and tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with some salt and pepper.
  4. Stir garlic and sage into mushrooms and continue cooking for 1 minute more.
  5. Add flour, paprika, and coriander and stir into mushrooms until no dry spots remain.
  6. Pour stock and wine over mushrooms, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Add lentils and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the sauce forms a thick gravy, 3 to 5 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Taste and add some more salt and pepper, if needed.
  8. If noodles were cooked ahead, reheat in the microwave.
  9. Remove green beans from oven and squeeze lemon juice over top.
  10. Serve mushrooms and lentils over noodles with green beans on the side. Enjoy!
