Directions
Middle Eastern Spread With Lentils & Peas, This is a high protein veggie dish that is perfect for pita points, Yum! I did need to add quite a bit of water to smooth it down and added a bit of salt, but it tastes great – just the right amount of zing I may replace the extra water and salt with vegetable broth next time This makes a LOT, so make sure you have the mouths to eat it or halve the recipe I’ll try freezing it in an ice cube tray (like pesto) Thanks for sharing T!
