INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked Lentils
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 large Egg
2 tablespoons Rolled Oats
1 tablespoon chopped Fresh Parsley
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (for cakes)
1 cup chopped Broccoli
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (for vegetables)
1/2 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, combine the cooked lentils, cooked quinoa, egg, rolled oats, chopped parsley, and ground cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Mash slightly with a fork to blend the ingredients while still leaving some texture.
Shape the mixture into 3-4 cakes, depending on your desired portion size.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the lentil quinoa cakes for about 3-4 minutes per side until they become crispy and golden.
Meanwhile, toss the chopped broccoli and sliced red bell pepper with 1 teaspoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Plate the crispy cakes alongside the roasted vegetables and add a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt on the side for a creamy finish.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, nutritious meal.
