QUINOA and LENTILS Recipe | HIGH PROTEIN Vegetarian and Vegan Meal Ideas
???? Quinoa and Lentils Recipe | High Protein Vegetarian and Vegan Meal Ideas
???? Let me know if you enjoyed my vegan quinoa and lentil recipe
▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (3 to 4 servings)
???? To cook the green lentils:
1/2 Cup / 100g GREEN Lentils (Washed/Soaked for 8 to 10 hours or overnight)
1 Teaspoon Salt (I have added pink Himalayan salt)
2 Cups / 475ml Water
???? To Marinate the cooked green lentils:
1+1/2 Tablespoon Lemon juice OR TO TASTE
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil (I have added organic cold pressed olive oil)
???? To cook Quinoa:
1 Cup / 190g Quinoa (Washed/Soaked for 30 minutes)
2 to 3 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Cup / 135g Onion
1+1/2 Cup / 200g Carrots (2 medium size carrots)
1 Tablespoon Garlic - finely chopped
3 Tablespoon Tomato paste OR TO TASTE
1+1/2 Teaspoon Paprika (NOT SMOKED)
1+1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (optional)
Salt to taste (I added total 1+1/4 Teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt)
1+1/2 Cup / 350ml Vegetable Broth (LOW SODIUM)
???? To Garnish:
1/2 Cup / 65g Red Onion - chopped
1/2 Cup / 25g Parsley - chopped
1/4 Cup / 5g Mint OR TO TASTE - chopped
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper or to taste
▶️ METHOD:
Wash & soak 1/2 cup of green lentils for 8 to 10 hours or overnight. Once the lentils are soaked, drain the water and rinse it. Transfer the lentils to a pot. Add salt and water. Cook over medium-high heat and bring to a vigorous boil. Once it starts to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 4 minutes or until lentils are cooked but still holds its shape. WE DO NOT WANT MUSHY LENTILS. Right away strain the cooked lentils. Let it sit in the strainer to get rid of any excess water and allow it to cool down. Once lentils have cooled, add lemon juice, olive oil and mix well. Allow the lentils to marinate while we continue with the rest of the cooking.
✅ ????Cooking time of the lentils depends on it's quality. One batch of lentils maybe drier than the others and may require longer cooking time. SO ADJUST THE COOKING TIME ACCORDINGLY.
Thoroughly wash 1 cup of quinoa until the water runs clear and then soak in water for 30 minutes. ✅ ????After 30 minutes drain the water from quinoa and let it sit in the strainer to get rid of any excess water.
To a heated WIDE PAN, add olive oil, chopped onion, carrots, 1/4 tsp salt and fry on medium to medium-high heat until it's slightly browned (about 5 to 6 minutes). ADDING SALT TO ONION/CARROTS RELEASES IT'S MOISTURE AND HELPS IT COOK FASTER, SO PLEASE DON'T SKIP IT. Add the garlic and fry on medium heat for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
✅ ????REDUCE THE HEAT TO LOW BEFORE ADDING THE SPICES AND TOMATO PASTE TO PREVENT IT FROM BURNING.
Add the tomato paste, paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper and fry on low heat for only 1 to 2 minutes (no longer than that), just to cook out the raw flavour of the tomato paste. Add the quinoa, salt, vegetable broth. Turn up the heat and bring to a VIGOROUS BOIL. Then reduce the heat to low and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or until quinoa is cooked.
✅ ????DO NOT LET THE QUINOA GET MUSHY. ADJUST THE COOKING TIME OF QUINOA ACCORDING TO THE HEAT OF YOUR STOVE. DO CHECK IN 15 MINUTES, if still not cooked then cook for longer. It took me 20 minutes on my stove.
Once the quinoa is cooked, uncover the lid and turn off stove. Add the cooked lentils, ground black pepper, red onions, parsley, mint & mix well. Cover the lid and allow it to rest for 3 to 4 minutes for the flavours to blend.
Serve hot with a side of green salad. Perfect for meal prep / meal planning as it stores well in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days
▶️ IMPORTANT NOTES:
???? Thoroughly wash the quinoa a few times until the water runs clear, this will get rid of any impurities/gunk/bitterness and will give quinoa a clean taste
???? Every stove is different SO ADJUST THE HEAT AND COOKING TIME AS REQUIRED
???? Cooking time of lentils depends on it's quality. One batch of lentils maybe drier than the other and may require longer cooking time, SO ADJUST ACCORDINGLY
???? DON'T LET THE QUINOA GET MUSHY. ADJUST THE COOKING TIME ACCORDING TO THE HEAT OF YOUR STOVE. CHECK IN 15 MINUTES, if its still not cooked, then cook for longer

How to cook bulgur wheat | Tabbouleh-style bulgur and mixed bean salad | Vegan recipe
In this Middle Eastern-Mediterranean inspired dish, mixed beans, cashews, dried apricots and fresh veg combine to create this wholesome tabbouleh-style salad. Bulgur is very easy to prepare and makes a great alternative to rice and pasta. Serve it as a main, side dish or make ahead for a filling and healthy packed lunch. Serves: 2 - 3
Ingredients:
For the salad:
1 cup (220g) cracked bulgur wheat
2 - 3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
1 ¼ cup (325ml) vegetable stock
400g can mixed beans, drained and rinsed
200g baby plum tomatoes, quartered and cut into small pieces
2 avocados, stoned, peeled and diced
2 spring onions, thinly sliced
75g dried apricots, chopped into small pieces
60g roasted salted cashews (or unsalted), coarsely chopped
20g fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
5g fresh mint leaves, chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the dressing:
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp agave nectar
¼ tsp (or less) chilli flakes
fine salt, to taste
Method:
1. Prepare the bulgur: the bulgur to water ratio is 1:1 ¼ . To be sure you have the correct ratio, use measuring cups or the same container to measure both the volume of bulgur and water/stock.
2. Heat oil in a medium-sized non-stick saucepan (for serving 2, use a 16cm diameter lidded pan), and swirl it to cover the bottom of the pan. When hot, reduce the heat to low, add the garlic, and fry for about half a minute. Add the bulgur, combine well and toast over a high heat, stirring all the time, for about 1 or 2 minutes. Pour over the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Then, remove from the heat, cover with a lid and set aside for at least 20 minutes so that the bulgur can cook and absorb all the water/stock.
3. In the meantime, prepare the dressing: combine olive oil, lemon juice, agave nectar, dry chillies and a pinch of salt in a small bowl and whisk until smooth and slightly thick.
4. When the bulgur is ready, fluff it with a wooden fork and tip it in a large serving bowl. Add the beans, tomatoes and spring onions and toss to combine well. Add the avocado, apricots, cashews, parsley and mint and stir again to combine everything well. Finally, mix in the dressing, taste and adjust any seasoning as necessary. Stir once more and serve.

BLACK BEAN SOUP is a vegetarian soup that's SO DARN good!
This black bean soup is a vegetarian soup recipe that's humble yet dazzling. It's layered with savory and spicy flavors, and can be made in about 30 minutes.
Black bean soup is a staple recipe in many countries around the world. There are versions from Mexico, Spain, Puerto Rico, and other countries in the Caribbean and Latin America. My recipe is heavily influenced by traditional Cuban black bean soup recipes, but of course, I've tweaked it a bit to my liking!
