Lentil Surprise – a WFPB-NO recipe

I have tweaked this WFPB-NO recipe to make it easier & more time efficient.

I made it with green lentils, mushrooms and cilantro and found it to be DELICIOUS 🙂

While I would keep the lentils, carrot & onion, you can add almost any vegetables (or flavoirings) to this recipe.

Ingredients

• 4 cups (1 L) vegetable broth
• 2 cups (500 cc) tomato sauce
• 2 cups red lentils OR French green lentils
• 1 onion chopped
• 1 bell pepper chopped
• ½ tsp garlic, minced
• 1 carrot, grated
• 2 tbsp parsley flakes
• 1 bay leaf
• ½ tsp basil
• ¼ tsp smoked paprika

1. Simmer lentils in veggie broth & tomato sauce
2. Add chopped onion & grated carrot.
3. While this is simmering add spices and the other chopped vegetables (hard ones first since they need to cook longer)
4. Ready in about 30 minutes
5. If desired at the end you can add  any of the following:
   1. Sliced tempeh or tofu
   2. Spinach
   3. Cilantro.

Suggest serving over boiled sweet potatoes, rice, or potatoes.
