Lentil Bowl

The latest release from the Best Of Bridge: 5 Ingredient Cooking series features recipes that use no more than - you guessed it - 5 ingredients. Co-author Emily Richards lead a virtual class in which participants made three unique dishes. Scanning through the book we decided to share this recipe for their Lentil Bowl. January is a good month to start fresh with your cooking routine and we are highlighting plant-based recipes. This one features Za'atar - a Middle Eastern seasoning mix that has always been a popular ingredient in our Middle Eastern classes. Sprinkle it on pita bread brushed with olive oil and bake in the oven for a cripsy pita cracker or use it on top of hummus drizzled with a little olive oil. Za'atar will never go to waste!
