lentils, i think so!

Im always up for trying recipes with the condition that its semi easy and fast. I've loosen up to that idea. I found this recipe couple of weeks ago. It was lentils, what did i know about lentils? That it was protein and related to the bean family. Well i decided to call a good friend of mine, Brandy whos an acute care dietician. When i spoke to her about my findings and curiosity of about this little pellete looking thing, i must admit i was super excited! Long story short, its very healthy. Its protein and very rich in fiber. So with that said... I introduce you to my first vegan entree..

1. take 1 cup of lentils boil them in vegetable broth for 25 mins. Add some salt

2.Chop 3 stalk celery,3 stalk green onions, half of a yellow onion,tomatoes(were a substitute for julienne carrots)

3.3 tbsp of flaxeed and half a cup of water. Mix it and set aside (this will be like the glue that will hold everything together)

4.lentils will absorbe the liquid, take it out and put in a large bowl, saute all of the ingredients in number 2 as well as put some garlic cloves in it. Add pepper

5.After 6 mins, add some almonds. (once again, almonds is a substitute for walnuts)

6.Add the veggies in the bowl of lentils,mix well. Add in a cup of panko bread crumbs, than take the flax seed mix and add it in. Mix it well.

.take a plexy glass or any baking dish, spray a little pam. Put in the lentil mix and baked at 350 for 40 mins.

7.VIOLA,DUNZO and yummy!

*** when you put the mix in the baking dish. In a separate bowl,take 2 tbs of ketchup,1 tbsp of maple syrup,and 1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar. Mix well and spread over the lentils..Than bake it!
