Ingredients

Recipe Description: 

This recipe is a class favorite! It's delicious, filling and very healthy for you. 

It is virtually fat-free, with less than 1 gram of fat per 1 cup serving. It's also very high in protein and fiber, with about 6 grams of each per serving. Lentils (like other beans) are a great source of iron and calcium as well.
