  4. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of flour with 1/4 cup of water until smooth. Add the slurry to the mushroom mixture while stirring continuously.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of cooked lentils and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Lower the heat and gently stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream, mixing well until fully incorporated.
