This 1-Pot Tomato Quinoa Lentil is the perfect, protein-packed vegan dinner. Super easy, super healthy, and super delicious.
Who’s ready for another simple, healthy, and delicious dinner recipe?
All you need to make this recipe is 1 pot, 13 basic ingredients, and 30 minutes!
The concept is simple: chop the vegetables and add them to a large pot with the quinoa, lentils, and spices and cook to perfection.
It doesn’t get much easier than that.
It’s not only easy and simple. It’s also packed full of flavour!
We’re talking paprika, basil, oregano and lots of garlic. As the lentils and quinoa are cooked in the pot, they really soak up all of those spices, creating a comforting and flavourful dish.
Plus, it’s a plant-based powerhouse. It packs 26 grams of protein and 14 grams of fibre per serving!
It’s also high in calcium, magnesium, and vitamin A.
This would make the perfect dinner for when you’re craving something comforting, yet healthy. It also stores really well. So I highly recommend making enough for leftovers. Serve it on its own or pair it with homemade vegan naan bread.
