This vegetarian millionbøf is a meat-free take on the Danish classic – millionbøf, minced beef simmered in brown gravy.
Instead of minced beef I use green lentils, which together with carrots and courgette make a rich, filling dish – also known as millionlinser, lentil millionbøf.
The lentils simmer with fresh thyme and bay leaves – Worcestershire sauce is added for plenty of depth and character. A little red wine vinegar at the end rounds out the flavour and keeps it bright.
Serve this vegetarian millionbøf with creamy mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes or rice – and you have a satisfying, filling vegetarian meal the whole family will enjoy.
It is an easy, healthy weeknight dish that can be varied with whatever vegetables you have in, so you can adapt it exactly to your taste.

Kan man bruge beluga linser og få samme gode resultat?
Hej Signe
Ja absolut, der er godt med bid i – evt. en kombi 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Den smager vanvittig godt 🙂
Tusind tak for de søde ord 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
En lækker ret som nu hører til mine yndlingsretter
Skal de grønne linser ikke koge mere en 20 min ?
Er rødvins edikke nødvendig ? Kan jeg undlade eller erstatte med andet ?
Tak for altid gode opskrifter
Skøn opskrift som bare smagte godt
8 dl. gøntsagsbouillon virker som rigtig meget ift. ingredienser iøvrigt. Jeg reducerede til 5 dl. men selv dette er faktisk for meget. Måtte tilsætte lidt quinoa for at suge lidt af væden. Retten endte med at smage fint med den tilpasning.
Hej Sara
Det er kun 6 dl bouillon, så det er en slåfejl – det er hermed rettet 🙂
Tak for at gøre opmærksom på det.
Warm wishes, Dianna
