Sunshine Lentil Bowls are the perfect way to enjoy fresh garden produce while doing a clean eating reset. This dish is packed with flavors and nutrients, featuring ingredients like green beans, tomatoes, herbs, roasted potatoes, soft scrambled eggs with goat cheese, and plenty of lentils.
Ingredients:
- Lentils
- Potatoes
- Green Beans
- Tomatoes
- A mix of herbs such as dill, parsley, and basil
- Eggs
- Goat Cheese
For the Garlic Olive Oil Dressing:
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt (or 2 teaspoons table salt)
- A pinch of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon each of dry oregano and dry basil
- 1 to 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 large clove of garlic
Instructions:
- Prep the Vegetables: Start by cooking your lentils and roasting your potatoes. You can either blanch or steam the green beans.
- Make the Dressing: Combine all the dressing ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Cook the Eggs: In a small nonstick skillet over low heat, melt a tiny knob of butter. Whisk the eggs well in a separate bowl, season with salt and pepper, and pour into the skillet. Let them sit for a minute before gently scraping the edges with a soft rubber spatula. Continue moving the eggs around slowly, allowing them to form big fluffy curds. When the eggs are nearly done, add chunks of goat cheese and a pinch of herbs. Remove the skillet from heat to let the cheese melt and the eggs finish cooking.
- Assemble the Bowls: It’s best to arrange everything in your bowls before cooking the eggs so you can add them while they’re hot. Season with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and your homemade dressing.
Tips:
- Preparing the ingredients in batches can save time, allowing you to assemble the bowls quickly throughout the week.
- While everything in the bowls can be served hot or cold, the eggs should be served hot.
This dish not only tastes great but is also versatile, making it perfect for any meal. Whether you’re looking for a hearty breakfast, a fulfilling lunch, or a light dinner, these Sunshine Lentil Bowls are sure to satisfy.
