You know what goes well with that delicious peanut sauce, yes lentils! Red lentils cook up super quick. Meanwhile, stir fry some veggies, blend up the peanut sauce, throw everything in the same skillet and serve unsuspecting people! Serve over rice or grains of choice or wide noodles of choice. You want to pick up as much sauce as possible!

You know this was coming right? Lentils in everything! Lentils are much easier to digest and ready within minutes. You can also make this with cooked brown lentils, cooked chickpeas etc. Simmer in the sauce longer so the bigger beans pick up the flavors. Or add Tofu or steamed tempeh and simmer for a bit.
