Easy Vegan Lunch: Lentils and Crackers
This is one of my favorite dishes. Compared to other types of dried beans, lentils are relatively quick and easy to prepare. They come in a variety of colors which are all high in nutritional value and available throughout the year.
One great thing about lentils is that they easily absorb a variety of wonderful flavors, so you can season this any way you like. I found an excuse to use my Old Bay seasoning again and that makes this dish taste amazing. I love to combine it with Ritz Roasted Vegetable crackers. The blend of those flavor are like a rich and salty dance.
The recipe itself is very simple but feel free to use the flavors you love to spice up this dish for your liking
Lentils and Crackers
INGREDIENTS:
- Lentils (any color)
- 1/2 tbsp of Old Bay Seasoning (or seasoning of your choice)
- Ritz Roasted Vegetable crackers (or crackers of your choice)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Rinse lentil for 30 seconds with water
- Cook the lentils according to the instructions. It’s general a 1:4 ratio of lentils to water. I typical do a 1:3 ratio. So you will combine 1 cup of lentils to 3 cups of water in a pot.
- After 20 minutes the lentil should be done. Add the seasoning of your choice a tsp at a time. Lentil easily adsorb flavors so you want to be careful not to over season this dish.
- Serve with crackers of your choice
