2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 large portobello mushrooms

25g butter, finely chopped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Step 1Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan-forced. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.

Step 3Roast vegetables for 25 minutes or until sprouts are golden and crisp and mushrooms are tender and a buttery sauce has formed inside mushrooms.
-
Step 4Meanwhile, cook lentils following packet directions. Drain.
-
Step 5Heat remaining oil in a large frying pan. Add pecans. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until toasted. Add radicchio and garlic. Cook, tossing occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until radicchio just starts to wilt. Add lentils, sprouts and eschalot. Drizzle with vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Stir in parsley.
