3 Ingredient Marinara Lentils (Vegan)
One of the most leisurely meal preps to exist with just three ingredients and a healthy, fibrous, protein-packed plant-based meal.
Equipment
- 1 Stovetop
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup red lentils rinsed
- 1 25 oz jar of marinara sauce
- 25 oz filtered water
- 2 teaspoons salt or 2 vegan bouillon cubes
Instructions
- Add the extra virgin olive oil and the lentils to a pot with a tight fighting lid, breaking apart any clumps.
- Add the jar of marinara. Fill the empty jar with filtered water. Return lid to jar and give the water a good shake. Add water/sauce mixture to the pot along with the salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is combined.
- Over medium-high heat, bring the lentils to a high simmer, place the lid on the pot and turn the heat to low. Let lentils simmer on low for 20 minutes. Turn off heat. Remove lid and stir.
- I love to serve these lentils over a bed of couscous with sautéed veggies on top, over toast, in a burrito or taco, tossed in some whole wheat pasta, or just by themselves with some added veggies.
