How to Prepare Puy Lentil and Red Pepper Hummus Bowl [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. In a small sauce pot, combine rinsed quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a low simmer, cover, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed. When cooked, fluff quinoa with a fork and set aside.
  2. In a medium sauce pot, combine lentils, water/broth, and bay leaf. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender. Drain liquid, discard bay leaf, and set aside.
  3. On a baking sheet, toss wedges in olive oil, ground coriander, ground cumin, salt and pepper. Bake for about 20 minutes, or fork tender, flipping wedges at the half-way point (10 minutes).
  4. In a medium sauce pot, steam the snap peas for about 3-5 minutes. When the snap peas are almost ready, toss in the spinach and steam for the remaining minute or so, or until spinach has wilted.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice and garlic together.
  6. In a small pan, toast cumin seeds and sesame seeds until golden brown, tossing them frequently. Keep an eye on the seeds while toasting; they tend to brown quite quickly.
  7. Finally, build your bowl! Divide into four bowls: spiralized carrot, 1/4 cup cooked quinoa, 1/4 cup lentils, steamed snap peas and spinach, a few potato wedges, and red onion. Top with a large dollop of red pepper hummus, drizzle some of the lemon mixture, and sprinkle toasted seeds on top. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
  1. Enjoy!
