Roast:

  4. Sauté spinach with garlic and butter in a pan over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  5. Roughly chop mushrooms and sauté in a pan with butter. Season with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
  6. Unroll puff pastry on a baking sheet covered with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees top and bottom heat.
  7. Now distribute the well squeezed spinach in the middle of the dough with a little distance to the edge. Then place the mushrooms on top.
  8. Place the lentil mixture on top and press down firmly so that the filling remains compact.
  9. Now use a sharp knife to cut diagonal longitudinal strips about 2cm wide. Fold these strips alternately over the filling. Close well at the ends and fold in.
  10. brush with milk and bake on medium rack for about 30-40 minutes until golden brown.

  4. Season well with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Glazed carrots: 

  1. Peel carrots, cut in half or quarters. Make sure a small piece of the green remains on.
  2. Heat butter with sugar, marjoram, salt and pepper in a pot. Sauté the carrots in it, turning. Pour in vegetable soup and reduce over low heat until liquid has evaporated and vegetables are glossy. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Sauce:

  1. Heat the vegetable soup with red wine.
  2. Put a good ladle in a bowl, stir in starch and mustard.
  3. Stirring constantly with a whisk, add the mixture to the liquid and simmer for a few minutes until it thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Strain through a sieve into a small saucepan and keep warm until ready to serve.

Dip:

  1. For the dip, whisk together the ingredients and season with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange in a bowl and serve with the main dish.
