Breakfast Lentils

Mineral-rich, high fiber and low GI, lentils make the perfect breakfast food. Packed with b vitamins and iron and high in cholesterol-lowering fiber, are a great healthy start to your day and are super hearty so they keep you feeling full right up to lunch time.

This is a very simple and healthy breakfast recipe, made even more effort-less with the use of tinned lentils, you could however substitute these with about 2-3 cups of cooked lentils if you prefer. With the addition of lemon and parsley you have a great quick meal full of all the good things to keep your belly and your body happy and healthy.

Serve over warm multigrain toast for a quick and easy to prepare vegan breakfast; also great with a little vegan cheese or a dollop of natural yoghurt for a vegetarian version.

Preparation time: 10mins
Serves 2

1 tbs olive oil1 x 390g (14 oz) tinned brown lentils2 garlic cloves, minced2 shallots/green onions, thinly sliced1-2 tsp soy sauce/tamari
