Thanks very much for creating this recipe. I had found another which was similar - it caramelized the onion and garlic for a good 10 minutes, added 1/4 cup Merlot and 2 tbsp maple syrup (I only used 1), reduced, also it used canned lentils. I used your ideas - adding the soya sauce, nutritional yeast and nutmeg is truly genius! This is so delicious that even my carnivore husband wanted more! Thanks so much!
