Easy Cumin Lentil Spread

March 16, 2015

Mmm lentils. Tasty and good for you. Packed with 18 g of protein, 16 g of fibre, and only 1 g of fat per cup. This spread is simple to make and can be thrown together as a quick appetizer or snack. If your time is very limited, you can even use a can of lentils instead of dried. If you’d like it to have a stronger taste, just add more cumin!

1 c cooked lentils (or 1 can)
2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 celery stock
1/2 shallot
1/4 c water
4 tbsp sunflower seeds
2 tbsp parsley

Add all ingredients (except parsley) into a blender or food processor. Blend on low until everything is finely chopped. Pour into a serving dish and top with fresh parsley. Serve with pita bread.
