A delicious & nutritious snack – Lentil & Avocado Paste
Author: Crys
I don’t know about you, but I genuinely love to grab a nutritious snack, especially on a very hectic day when I am running late, there are too many things that need to be done in a short time, I have no time for a proper lunch but still want to eat as healthy as possible.
As I hate to eat any junk food from the street, full of fat and salty as hell or, even worse, NOTHING, I told to myself one day that I could fix my own lunch for a day like that.
All I had to do is to wake up about 10 minutes earlier and get ready to prepare my nutritious, high in protein and B vitamins snack.
The paste can also be refrigerated up to 2 days.
Ingredients for one portion:
100 gr. stew of red lentil, which takes only 10 minutes to be cooked and requires no soaking beforehand
½ avocado, chopped
1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced and mashed to a paste
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil
1 bunch chopped fresh coriander
Method
In a small saucepan bring 100 ml. water with salt to a boil and simmer 100 g of red lentils about 10 minutes, or until are al dente. Transfer the stew of red lentils to a bowl, in which you add the rest of the ingredients, and mix them all with a stab mixer until the paste is smooth.
Serve the paste on a slice of cracker, preferably multi-grain, with Rucola Salad and flaxseeds on top of it, or set your imagination free and see where it goes.
Bon appétit!
