This is based on a recipe from You Are What You Eat. I love eating these kinds of things for lunch, as the protein and complex carbs stop me from craving sugar at 4pm.
Ingredients:
225 g brown lentils
2 onions, peeled and finely chopped
1 vegetable stock cube
4 carrots, timmed and chopped
1/2 a butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and chopped
1 sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 celery, trimmed and chopped
50 g frozen peas
100 g baby spinach
1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
Directions:
1. Soak the lentils in cold water for 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and drain.
2. Place the onions and stock cube in a saucepan with 750ml water and bring to the boil.
3. Add the lentils, carrots, squash, and sweet potato. Bring back to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for a further 5 minutes.
4. Add the peas, baby spinach and tamari, stir through, then remove from the heat and serve.
