Harissa Lentil and Roasted Veg Quinoa

Name: Harissa Lentil and Roasted Veg Quinoa
Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 55 min
Ingredients: 4 cups Cooked lentils; 3 cups cooked quinoa; 3 tbsp harissa paste; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tbsp olive oil; 1 tbsp lemon juice; 2 bell peppers, cut into strips; 2 medium zucchini, cut into half-moons; 1 red onion, cut into wedges; 1 tbsp olive oil; 1 cup high-protein soy yogurt; 1 tbsp lemon juice; 1 clove garlic, grated; ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped; ½ tsp salt

Harissa does all the heavy lifting here. Lentils soak it up, the roasted peppers and zucchini get sweet and charred, and a garlicky yogurt sauce cools everything down. It tastes better on Thursday than it did on Sunday.

Method

1
Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the peppers, zucchini and onion with the oil and a big pinch of salt and roast until charred at the edges.
2
Warm the oil in a pan over medium, sizzle the garlic and harissa for 1 minute, then stir in the lentils and lemon until everything is coated and hot.
3
Stir the yogurt, lemon, garlic, parsley and salt together.
4
Divide the quinoa, harissa lentils and roasted veg between 4 boxes. Pack the yogurt sauce in small cups.

Storage

Keeps 5 days in the fridge. The lentils and quinoa freeze well for 2 months; freeze without the yogurt sauce.

Good to know

Harissa brands vary a lot in heat. Start with 2 tablespoons and taste before adding the third.
