Lentil Veggie Hash

Last month we highlighted ways to end your day with zero refined sugar desserts. This month we are celebrating how to begin your day with savory breakfasts. The food industry has trained us to start the day with a sugary high carb cereal, which sets us up for craving more carbs throughout the day. If we start with some protein instead, the savory start keeps our blood sugar low and our energy level high. This dish will provide about 22 grams of protein and 15 grams of fiber per serving.

1 cup cooked black lentils (or ½ cup dry, cooked)

1 medium sweet potato, diced

1 small yellow squash, chopped

½ yellow and orange bell pepper, diced

1/2 c red onion, chopped

2 cups kale or spinach, chopped

1 T muun chi Fermented Roots

(Or 2 cloves garlic, minced)

1–2 tbsp avocado oil

½ tsp smoked paprika and cumin

Pinch of red chili flakes

avocado diced

Hemp seeds

• In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté diced potatoes for 10–12 minutes with muun chi Fermented Roots until soft and brown but still firm.

  
  

  Add onion, yellow and orange pepper, and yellow zucchini. Cook another 5–7 minutes until soft and slightly golden.

  
  

• Add lentils & spices:

  Stir in cooked lentils, paprika, cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Mix well and sauté for 2–3 more minutes to allow the flavors to combine.

  
  

• Wilt the greens:

  Toss in kale or spinach and stir just until wilted (1–2 minutes). Remove from heat.

  
  

• Top & serve:

  Serve warm. Add toppings like avocado, hemp seeds, or additional fermented roots for extra protein and gut benefits

  
  

  Salt & black pepper to taste and a pinch of chili flakes

Serve with diced avocado and hemp seed. I love eating this savory breakfast to fill me for the day. It is so satiating, it may fill you for the day!
