Cabbage and Lentil Sliders

This recipe is adapted from a recipe by the Happy Herbivore, Lindsey Nixon. Check out her website here.  She has some great recipes! When I first looked over this recipe it was screaming for lentils and mushrooms. So I added them and assembled just a little bit different then Lindsey.  I hope you enjoy this version. 

 

1 medium onion, sliced

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 head cabbage

Vegetable broth or water as needed

2 cups sliced mushrooms

2 cups cooked lentils

BBQ sauce of choice (will need 1 – 2 cups)

Whole wheat buns or bread of choice

 

Cook onions in a dry skillet over medium high heat constantly stirring until onions start to brown. Add garlic and cook another minute.  Add mushrooms, shredded cabbage and a 1/2 cup water or broth and cook until cabbage is nice and tender. Stir in lentils and BBQ sauce to taste. Heat through. Serve on your favorite *bread or bun with a spread of avocado and mustard.

*I love Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted wheat bread, “sesame” flavored in the green package.

 

 

Hummus Wrap

This is such a quick and easy lunch or dinner anytime!Humus Wrap

Whole-Food Hummus 

2 ½ cups garbanzo beans (drained and rinsed if canned)
1/4 cup brown sesame seeds         ground in a coffee grinder
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cloves chopped garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste

Process all ingredients in a food processor or strong blender until smooth. Add water or vegetable broth as needed for smoother consistency.

Home-cooked beans make this taste so much better! To cook beans from scratch, soak dry beans in water to cover for 8 to 24 hours. Drain well, rinse, and transfer to a crock pot. Cover with water about 1 inch above top of beans. Cook on low for 7 or 8 hours or until soft.

To make a wrap

Spread hummus on a whole wheat tortilla. (My personal favorite is a Food For Life sprouted wheat tortilla.) Top with avocado, mustard, dairy-free dressing, and veggies, such as lettuce, spinach, sprouts, red or green cabbage, shredded carrot, onion, tomato, etc.

“I’ve been using the recipes in your cookbooks. I love the Spicy pumpkin soup and your mustard potatoes…. yum! I cook up a batch of the potatoes and freeze them to use for meals for my brother. Usually potatoes get mushy in the freezer but these seem to be OK. I tried the Peppermint Patty’s and really liked them too! Thanks!”  K. Page, St. George, Utah

“I just love your cookbooks! I’ve been gradually working towards a plant based diet since about 2012 and have used a few really good cookbooks – the happy herbivore books, the China Study Books, Engine 2 etc — which all gave me a great foundation for this approach. Your cookbooks have offered new ways of seeing some of the recipes . I’ve made a few of the deserts, some of the loafs, and breakfasts. Great use of herbs and spices, and I like the fact that the ingredients are very simple to use. ” Thanks again, Sue
