Vegeterian Tips: If you are going to a gathering with all your meat lover friends such as a barbeque or pig roast, bring your own veggie burger to place on the grill. You can also make your own veggie kabobs with fresh vegetables and tofu. Just make sure to bring enough, as most people will want to try and probably like what you are eating!
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 15 oz. can lentils
- 1 14.5 oz. can stewed tomatoes (or diced tomatoes)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- sea salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (optional)
Directions:
Combine lentils, tomatoes, vegetable broth, garlic, oregano and red pepper. Add salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Just before serving, stir in the olive oil.
If you want it thicker, leave out the vegetable broth. This is so simple, but full of flavor.
