Ingredients

  • 70 g organic green lentils
  • 3 baby carrots
  • 3 baby zucchinis
  • 2 baby bell peppers
  • 1 yellow turnip
  • 1 Romanesco cabbage
  • 1 small potato
  • 1 beet
  • 30 g dehydrated soybean and wheat protein
  • 2 g garlic
  • 2 g onions
  • 1 g rosemary
  • 1 g parsley
  • 1 g thyme
  • 1 g chives
  • 4 spoons of olive oil
  • 35 g water

Directions

  1. Cook the lentils 30 minutes in boiling water
  2. Cook the vegetables (carrots, zucchini, yellow turnip, Romanesco cabbage, and potato) in boiling water with salt
  3. Cook the bell peppers in the oven
  4. Put the cooked lentils inside a bowl and mix them with the vegetable protein, the garlic, onion, thyme, chives, rosemary, salt, olive oil, and the 35 grams of water. Mix all the ingredients until creating a dough. Afterwards, use a mold cutter and cut the dough into patties. Then cook them on the pan with low heat from 3 to 4 minutes for each side.
  5. Cook the vegetables and stir fry them in a pan with olive oil for 3 minutes using low heat (so that they acquire color and taste).
  6. For the sauce, cook the carrots, the beet, and the zucchini in three different casseroles with water, and then blend them (this is to give color to your dish).
