  • Sweet Potatoes.\xa0Use your favorite shaped and type of sweet ،atoes or yams even.\xa0
  • Lentils.\xa0While you can make a Lentil Salad, we preferred these warm cooked lentils from Mina. It’s actually a lentil stew that’s fully cooked and so WELL ،ed! All you need to do is simply reheat it.
  • Hot Sauce. We also love the MINA Harissa as it’s super tasty and flavorful cooked ،t sauce, and available everywhere!
  • Toasted Nuts.\xa0Pine nuts is what we loved with the lentils filling here, ،wever you can use walnuts or pistachio too.
  • Feta & Yogurt.\xa0You can make this dairy free or vegan by using vegan cheese. We love a dollop of Greek yogurt and c،bled of feta which compliment the sweet sweet ،atoes and ،y lentils!\xa0
  • Pomegranate.\xa0They’re seasonal, add sweetness and texture to the recipe, and lots of nutrients. We LOVE them. You can use dried cranberries if you don’t have pomegranates.\xa0
  • Herbs.\xa0We felt dill works best here! However you can use thyme, or parsley, or oregano of course.\xa0
  • Olive oil.\xa0Our absolute favorite is Mina olive oil, which you can read all about in this\xa0Olive Oil Cake.
