CREAMY MUSHROOM HOTPOT
I grew up on classic British dishes like the Lancashire hotpot, so as an adult, I've always found them hugely comforting. This is how I like to make and eat hotpot now – with lots of creamy mushrooms and lentils, and that famous topping of golden potatoes.
Ingredients
- olive oil
- 1 kg mixed mushrooms roughly chopped
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- 100 ml white wine
- 250 g cooked puy lentils
- 1 tbsp miso paste
- 400 ml vegetable stock
- 100 ml plant-based cream
- 1 tbsp cornflour mixed with 1 tbsp water
- 10 g parsley finely chopped
- 3-4 medium potatoes finely sliced
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180°c (fan assisted)/390°f/gas 6.
-
Heat a large pan over a medium-high heat and add a good glug of oil. Fry the mushrooms in batches for 3-4 minutes each side, or until softened and golden. Remove from pan and set aside.
-
Heat another glug of oil in the same pan over a medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and a good pinch of salt and fry for 8-10 minutes, stirring regularly, until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and fry for a further minute or so, just to soften.
-
Increase the heat to high and pour in the wine. Allow to simmer and bubble for 2-3 minutes, until almost evaporated. Return the heat back to medium and add the lentils, miso paste, vegetable stock and cream. Stir well, then whisk in the cornflour slurry. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring regularly, until reduced and glossy. Stir through the mushrooms and parsley, then taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed. Remove from the heat.
-
Lay the potato slices over the mushroom filling in an overlapping spiral pattern. Brush with oil, then bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and soft all the way through. Allow the hotpot to sit for 5 minutes before serving.

WOW! This recipe is outstanding! My husband and kids loved it too. I didn’t have any white wine so I added a bit of Marsala instead, black lentils and thyme instead of parsley, again, it’s just what I had on hand. Thank you for such a lovely, comforting recipe Georgie!
