Zucchini, Squash & Lentil Skillet with Creamy Lemon Sauce
Uses: green lentils, zucchini, yellow squash, spinach, sour cream, lemon
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup cooked green lentils
- 1/2 cup sliced zucchini
- 1/2 cup sliced yellow squash
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions:
- Cook lentils until tender and season while warm with garlic powder, paprika, cumin, black pepper, and a small pinch of salt if available.
- In a skillet, cook zucchini and squash until tender and lightly browned, seasoned with favorite spices.
- Add the lentils and spinach to the pan and warm everything together.
- Stir sour cream with lemon juice to make a quick creamy finish.
- Spoon the lemon sour cream over the skillet right before serving.
Why it works: The spices and lemon cream keep the lentils and vegetables from tasting flat.
Optional: Add chicken, tilapia, or a fried egg on top for extra protein.
