Lentil Walnut Nachos
Chips: Kale chips, roasted beet slices or home made corn chips
1 cup soaked lentils
2 cups water or broth
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 ½ cups chopped cauliflower
¾ cup minced onions
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp coriander
½ tsp chili powder
½ tsp paprika
1 cup toasted walnuts
Nacho Toppings: radish slices, roasted red pepper cheese sauce, pickled onions, freeze dried corn, green onions, lime (anything else you have!)
Heat a large saute pan over high heat. Melt the coconut oil, add in the onion and saute a couple minutes until slightly softened. Toss in the spices and minced garlic, simmer a minute or two. Add in the cauliflower and lentils and toss to coat well. Add in the water or broth, bring to a boil, set to simmer for 10 minutes.
Pulse the lentils with the walnuts to create a ‘meat’. Assemble nachos and enjoy!
