Instructions

Seasoned Lentils Instructions

  1. Place the rinsed lentils into a pot, cover with 4 cups of water and ½ cup of vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower to a low boil/simmer.
  2. Add the onion powder, garlic powder, dried minced onion flakes, ground mustard, sea salt, and pepper. Stir to incorporate.  Simmer for approx. 35 to 40 minutes just until the lentils are tender.  Do not overcook. Watch them closely toward the end, about the 30 minute mark. You want the lentils to be perfectly tender while still holding their shape and not mushy.  Note: If there is any left-over liquid after cooking the lentils, drain it off. Or when you remove the lentils from the heat and allow them to sit in the liquid, they will pretty much absorb any left-over liquid.

Roasted Baby Potatoes Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  2. Line a large baking sheet (or 2 small ones) with parchment paper, set aside.
  3. Place the dry seasoning into a small bowl, mix well, set aside.
  4. Wash and cut the baby potatoes in halves (or quarters if large) and place in a large bowl, then sprinkle the dry seasoning mix all over the potatoes and stir to coat well, then place in a preheated 400 F oven for 35 to 45 minutes until tender.

Dill Dressing Instructions

  1. Place all the dressing ingredients (except the dill) into a small bowl, whisk well to incorporate, then add the chopped dill, stir to combine. Allow to sit for 4-5 minutes to marry the flavors.

Serving Instructions:

  1. To plate individual servings, place a bed of roasted potatoes, then add a scoop of the seasoned lentils (and blanched green beans/asparagus – if used), then top with a generous amount of Dill Sauce.

Notes

*Vegetable Stock:  We use Pacific Organic Low Sodium Vegetable Stock. We love this brand because it is Whole Food Plant Based compliant, as it does not contain MSG, has no oil, and does not contain any highly-processed ingredients; however, this brand of vegetable stock does have a strong flavor so less broth is required when compared to the water ratio. We use a higher water to broth ratio because of this. If you are using a brand other than Pacific vegetable broth, then consider adjusting the water/vegetable broth ratio accordingly.  For example, if you are using a very mellow vegetable broth, you might consider 3 ½ cups of vegetable broth and 1 cup of water for this recipe. Please adjust the recipe (broth/water ratio) accordingly based upon the vegetable broth brand used if using other than Pacific Organic Low Sodium Vegetable Stock.

*Small Brown Lentils (Pardina/Spanish Brown):  You can substitute any type of lentil for the brown lentils (other than red); however, you will need to adjust the cooking time.  Small brown lentils typically cook faster than green lentils.  We have found that the Small Brown Lentils works beautifully with this recipe.

*Miso:  We use Miso Master Organic Mellow White Premium Lite Miso, Certified Gluten Free. Miso really lends itself to balancing flavors when you don’t use oil.  You can also substitute with chickpea miso for a soy free version.

*Blanched/Cooked Green Beans:  Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil, then place the cleaned green beans into the boiling water for approximately 1 to 4 minutes  (or longer) – largely dependent upon how tender you prefer your green beans. Remove when the beans have reached the desired tenderness. Rinse them briefly in cold water to stop the cooking process. Serve.

*Blanched/Cooked Asparagus:  Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil, then place the asparagus into the boiling water for approximately 4 to 10 minutes (or longer) – largely dependent upon how tender you prefer your asparagus. Remove when the asparagus has reached the desired tenderness. Rinse them briefly in cold water to stop the cooking process. Serve.

*Sea Salt: Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.

*Serving:  4 to 6

*Storage: Refrigerate and use within 5 days.
