Wow…where the hell did summer go?! It disappeared in a day! Amanda and I were absolutely cooking out for a run on Friday and now it’s freezing and raining! I needed something to warm me up last night for dinner and barely had any groceries in the house…so this is what I came up with. It sounds a bit weird but it was actually pretty good! Simple, easy, HEALTHY dinner :) ENJOY!
Ingredients
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1/4 onion, chopped
- 1/4 head of cauliflower, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 large stems of kale, chopped (remove stems)
- 1 can lentils
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups chicken broth (organic, low sodium)
- pepper to taste
- 2 eggs
Directions
- In a medium saucepan or pot, heat up the olive oil. Add the carrot, onion, cauliflower and garlic and sauté for about 5 – 8 minutes.
- Add the kale and continue to cook until the leaves wilt (about 3 minutes).
- Next, add the lentils, bay leaf and chicken broth and bring mixture to a boil. Cover and let simmer for about 30 minutes.
- Poach up your eggs once the lentils are done and you’re good to go. Salt and pepper to taste. You can also serve this with a scoop of brown rice if you like.
Note – you can use whatever vegetables you have in your fridge that need to be used up
