Cooking at home can sometimes be boring when you go through the same list of ingredients over and over. I recently made a simple to prepare, delicious and lowfat meal that I'm going to share with you today.
French Lentils with Andouille Sausage and StirFry Green Vegetables
Ingredients:
For the Lentils:
1 cup french lentils rinsed
1 cup water
1 cup low sodium beef stock
2 shallots coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon Mrs Dash
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon canola oil
Heat the oil in a pan. Add shallots, Mrs Dash. Cover and cook until the shallots are soft. Add the lentils, water and stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, stir in the tomato past. Cook until fluids are cooked into the lentils (approximately 20 minutes. Yields 4 servings).
For The StirFry:
I purchased a container of green strifry vegetables from Whole Foods. It contains, kale, chards, spinach, collards, you name it! Prepare the greens 10 minutes before the lentils are completely cooked.
4 cups stirfry mix
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup low sodium beef stock
Heat oil in a pan. Add greens and stock. Cover and cook over medium heat until al dente.
For The Sausage:
I just love that George Foreman grill!!! Throw that sausage onto the grill 3 minutes before serving. Arrange the lentils center on the plate. arrange the sausage in top and the greens to the side. Yummy!
Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day: Make this meal EXTRAORDINARY and add a tablespoon of your favorite chutney on the plate to counteract the spicyness of the sausage. Bon Appetit! This one's a reall winner and only takes 30minutes total time to prepare and cook.
