Lentil "Meat"

Ingredients

  • Trader Joe’s Harvest Blend, 1 cup (recommended, or any lentil blend of your choice)
  • vegetable broth for cooking (or sub water)
  • umami seasoning, 2 tbsp
  • cumin, 1 tsp
  • garlic powder, 1 tsp
  • paprika, ½ tsp
  • cinnamon, ¼ tsp
  • salt & pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Toast lentil blend in a pan on low heat for 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.

  2. In the same pan or pot, fill with veggie broth the same amount that is called for on your blend’s package instruction for the serving side and bring to a boil.

  3. Once boiling, add lentils and reduce to a simmer.

  4. When broth begins to absorb, add in your seasonings and mix together until evenly combined.

  5. Continue to simmer (according to package instruction time) until lentils are cooked through. Taste test and adjust flavor to your liking.

  6. Serve as a protein to any dish!
