CHICKPEA & BUTTERNUT SQUASH TAGINE WITH SAFFRON & LIME
CHAI SPICED LENTILS with MILLET, CURRANTS & PISTACHIOS
These Chai Spiced Lentils with Millet, Currants & Pistachios pack flavor and nutritional punches. French green lentils are livened up with orange vinaigrette and warming spices, then served over fluffy millet studded with crunchy pistachios and sweet-tart currants.
Lentils are loaded with fiber, protein, and iron, and the addition of spinach brings vitamins C and E, potassium, magnesium, and more iron. Millet is a mild, nutty, gluten-free grain rich in antioxidants with a low glycemic index. And the pistachios don’t just add crunch—they provide great doses of vitamin B6, potassium, and essential amino acids.
