Barley and Lentil Primavera - Produce Box Dinner

Fresh vegetables and filling lentils go into this Italian seasoned sauce, to serve over barley (or grain/pasta of choice). 

Full of flavor, nutrients and fiber!


Ingredients:

2 c. Barley, cooked and set aside (we cook ours in bulk and then store it in small containers and freeze it, making it easy to microwave in a few minutes!)

 1 can Lentils, drained
1 Zucchini, diced
4 Roma Tomatoes (or 1 can Diced Tomatoes)
1/2 White Onion, diced
1-2 Carrots, chopped
1 c. Kale, finely chopped (I use the Ninja to make it small, coarse ground particles of kale)
1/2 Jar of Spaghetti Sauce
2 Cloves Garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. Sugar
Oregano, Salt, Pepper to taste
Olive Oil

Add oil to saute pan and heat
Add in all ingredients except spaghetti sauce and lentils and saute until vegetable are tender

Pour in 1/2 jar spaghetti sauce and heat through
Add in lentils - stir

Serve sauce over barley or grain/pasta of choice - add a side salad for even MORE veggies in your life!

Yum!
