VEGGIE LEGUMES & BEEFLESS GROUND

Fresh cooked green beans and baby carrots mixed with split green peas, lentils and Gardein Beefless Ground. Seasoned with turmeric, allspice, smoked paprika and sage!

Makes 11-1/2 cups

1 c. dried lentils, rinsed in wire mesh strainer to remove all foam

1 c. dried split peas, rinsed in wire mesh strainer to remove all foam

7 c. water

Combine lentils, peas and water in large pot. Bring to boil, cover tightly, reduce heat to low and cook 1 hour or till tender. Not adding salt at this stage will cook the legumes quicker.

Stir well and cook, uncovered, till spices permeate the entire pot.
