Ingredients
- 8oz white mushrooms (diced)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 3/4 cups finely chopped yellow bell pepper (Or any bell pepper of your preference)
- 1 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup organic corn (I used frozen, but canned or freshly cooked would work too.)
- 3 cups cooked lentils ((about 1 1/4 cup dried lentils, cooked))
- 1 teaspoon pure cane sugar or agave nectar
- 1/2 teaspoon nutritional yeast flakes
- 3/4 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pinch ground cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 8 Romaine lettuce leaves (Actual number largely depends on the size of Romaine leaves you're using, and how much filling you like in each.)
Directions
Step 1 | |
In a large skillet, saute your mushrooms, onions, and bell pepper in your olive oil. This should take just a few minutes (5 minutes, tops) for your mushrooms to cook down and your onion and bell pepper to get all aromatic and tender. | |
Step 2 | |
Add your organic corn and lentils to the mix, followed by your seasonings (basically everything except your lettuce), continuing to stir periodically until everything is nice and hot. | |
Step 3 | |
Prep your lettuce leaves by rinsing and gently patting dry. Try to keep those leaves as intact as possible. | |
Step 4 | |
Spoon about 1/4 cup (or more) of filling into each Romain leaf. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro (optional), and drizzle chipotle sauce over everything. (See note above on chipotle sauce recipe.) | |
