At the beginning of December, I discovered a delicious-looking quinoa-lentil-shiitake bake recipe posted on No Substitutions, a fantastic blog aimed at vegans, vegetarians, people with food allergies — anyone with "tricky eating habits," as they say. Friday night, feeling in an adventurous mood and ready to expand my culinary horizons, I printed off the recipe and headed out to gather up my supplies.
This is my creation right before popping it into the oven:
And about 35 minutes later, viola! I was ready to eat my dinner. I paired it with my own version of a tomato and avocado salad, but, as No Substitutions says, it would go well with some crispy greens. I recommend this tasty bake to vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. Here is the recipe. Enjoy!
