Celeriac and mushrooms with lentils and rice

Celeriac and mushrooms with lentils and rice

This is another wintery recipe, a stir-fry of celeriac and mushrooms, with lentils and rice cooked together in one pot. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare. I used dried tomatoes, porcini mushrooms, tomato puree, black bean paste and garlic oil for the umami.
