  • Would spinach and lentils be a decent substitute? I've never cooked with mushrooms.

    My tenderloin is looking at me longingly

    Which recipe are you following? If you're preparing duxelles, I don't think a lot of harm [apart from wrecking the flavour] would come from leaving out the dried mushrooms and not adding anything in as a substitute.

    I don't think I'd be averse to sweet red peppers instead of fresh mushrooms if you think the water content needs to balance.

  • BBC good food one, I used lentils instead of mushrooms, and also wilted spinach with boiling water. Just finished cooking the first half of tenderloin. Looks ok, might taste rank!

    Edit, it was fine
