RECIPE:
Garlic Butter Lentils & Sweet Chili Glazed Chickp Meaty-balls
February 23, 2021
PREP TIME: 5 minutes
COOK TIME: 30 minutes
Delicious and velvety garlic-butter lentils make a perfect high protein meal that is easy to make, comforting and classy. If you’re looking to cut back on the added oils, just exclude them for a much lighter, less rich dish.
The Chickpea burgers rolled into meat balls, glazed and skewered, adds an elevated restaurant style to this dish, not to mention the added protein.
