  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) tahini paste
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) honey
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) water
  • 3 Tbsp (45 mL) thinly sliced green onions
  • dash, salt and ground black pepper
  • STIR FRY:
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) canola oil
  • 1 cup (250 mL) thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 cups (500 mL) thinly sliced Brussel sprouts
  • 1 cup (250 mL) thinly sliced carrots
  • 1 cup (250 mL) thinly sliced parsnips

Directions

  1. Combine dressing ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat a wok or large sauté pan on medium-high heat. Add oil and then onions, cook for 1 minute. Add Brussel sprouts, carrots, parsnips, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir, add a small splash of water, about 1 Tbsp (15 mL), and cover with a lid. Continue to cook until vegetables are tender, about 5-8 minutes.
  3. Once the vegetables are tender, but not too soft, add lentils and heat through. Stir in prepared sauce and almonds and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with almonds and green onions.
