From Dr. Fuhrman's new book, Eat for Health. Ingredients:
1/2 cup red lentil |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 small garlic clove, chopped |
1 1/2-2 cups carrot juice |
1 lb broccoli floret |
1 tablespoon low-sodium vegetable bouillon granules |
1/2 teaspoon sodium-free seasoning (such as mrs. dash) |
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar |
1/4 cup chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. Add lentils, onions, garlic, and carrot juice to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 20-30 minutes until the lentils are soft and pale. Add more carrot juice as needed.
2. Meanwhile, steam the broccoli until just tender.
3. Put the cooked lentil mixture in a food processor or blender (or use an immersion blender right in the saucepan) with the seasonings and balsamic vinegar and blend to a smooth paste. Add some carrot juice if it is too thick.
4. Place broccoli in a bowl and combine with sauce. Top with chopped pecans.
5. Enjoy!
