Ingredients

    1 cup dry red lentils
    1 cup - scant - dry red quinoa
    1 can black beans, rinsed VERY VERY well
    2-3 cloves garlic
    +- 1/4 cup chopped onion
    1 portabella mushroom cap, chopped
    Dash of sea salt
    Dash of black pepper
    Garlic powder to taste
    Cumin to taste

Directions

Cook quinoa and lentils, separately, according to package directions. While cooking, chop and sautee all veggie ingredients. Feel free to add anything else you like - red peppers, tomatoes, more onion, etc. This was based on what I had on hand. When quinoa and lentils are done, mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cumin to taste. Serving is 1 cup for a good sized meal, or 1/2 cup for a more moderate meal/side. Calories is based on 1 cup serving. Enjoy!
