This is an easy meal for a weeknight. Lentils are a nutritional power house. They are a good source for protein and pack a hugh amount of dietary fiber. I like all types of legumes. My only issue with lentils is if they are not used in conjunction with something else and nicely spiced they can be very bland. So I added sausage and butternut squash to bump things up a bit. I also used sage and herbs de provence for herbal depth. Served with a salad the meal is complete. As for a wine; the sausage, mushrooms and lentils stand up to a hearty red. I elected a Fenestra 2008 Livermore Valley Estate Mourvedre which worked well.
