Serve this lentil and cabbage stir-fry with a creamy tahini sauce, chopped parsley, fresh pomegranate (or raisins) and rice for a complete and satisfying meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
COOKING TIP!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To enhance the flavours of dry spices, fry them in oil before<\/strong> adding the rest of the ingredients. This helps to intensify the flavours<\/strong> and make them more aromatic<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n This meal is packed with dietary fibre<\/strong>, which is something most of us eat too little of. Long story short \u2013 dietary fibre are important as they keep our gut healthy and happy. They also help to keep you feeling fuller for longer by slowing down the breakdown of the food. Learn more about dietary fibre.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another added bonus with this meal is that it\u2019s rich in iron. Iron is an essential nutrient that we need for blood cell production and iron deficiency can manifest itself in low energy levels and lethargy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Iron found in plant-based sources are non heme iron, and are not as easily absorbed in the body. To improve the absorption of iron, pair it with vitamin C rich foods. Luckily, this meal is rich in vitamin C thanks to the cabbage and pomegranate. But if you want to ensure you get enough vitamin C, have an orange with your meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This dish is perfect for meal prep. Divide the lentil and cabbage stir-fry together with rice (or grain of your choice) in meal prep containers. Place the tahini sauce, pomegranate and parsley in separate container and add after reheating the stir-fry.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLentil and Cabbage Stir-Fry \u2013 A fibre powerhouse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
