Brown Lentils: I used uncooked lentils to prepare the fillings. You can also use canned lentils. It gives a nutty and meaty taste.
Puff pastry sheets: You can use any store-bought sheets. I recommend using Pepperidge Farm sheets.
Olive Oil: Replace it with any cooking oil like avocado or vegan oil.
Mushrooms: Fresh or dried herbs work well with this dish. Cremini, portobello, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms are good options. Choose the one that suits your taste.
Red wine: It is an optional ingredient.
