Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
For the Sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce or tamari
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 Tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon of your favorite hot sauce optional
For the Lentils
- 1 cup red lentils
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- ½ cup walnuts chopped
- 1 teaspoon neutral oil
- 1 small onion chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger peeled and minced
To Serve
- 1 head of butter lettuce leaves separated but kept whole
- 1 medium carrot grated
- green onions chopped
- toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
For the Sauce
- Add the sauce ingredients to a small bowl and mix. Set aside.
For the Lentils
- In a medium saucepan, heat the oil, then add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 5 minutes to slightly brown and soften the onions.
- Stir in the lentils, then add the vegetable broth. Turn down the heat, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the broth is fully absorbed and the lentils are cooked. Mix in the walnuts and about half of the sauce, or to taste.
To Serve
- Fill a lettuce leaf with the lentil mixture and top with shredded carrot, green onions, and sesame seeds. Optional: Spoon a small amount of the extra sauce over each wrap.
