Let’s talk about the main ingredient of this fine dish right away and that is the Pardina lentils from the company Müller’s Mühle. They have a brown shell with yellow inside and are quite suitable for a vegan diet. The Pardina lentil is stable to cooking and remains firm to the bite without u disintegrating. It is rich in high quality vegetable protein and a very good source of iron. It is also particularly rich in fiber and contains little fat. The lentil variety scores with a high content of phosphorus, magnesium and thiamine, with a low salt content at the same time.
Pardina lentils are grown mainly in Spain, where they have a tradition of more than 800 years. The name Pardina comes from the Spanish “pardo” and simply means “brown”. Americans simply call them “Spanish brown lentils.” The main cultivation area of the Pardina lentil is in the Tierra de Campos, on the Castilian plateau. In addition to Spain, the lentil variety is also produced in the USA and around 20,000 tons of the popular lentil variety are harvested each year, with an upward trend.
Müller’s Mühle has been processing high-quality vegetable raw materials since 1893 and is located in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. The company offers natural cooking ingredients for a modern, plant-based diet. The products support a healthy lifestyle and offer numerous nutritional benefits, as they are particularly rich in protein and fiber. Müller’s Mühle products make it easy to cook plant-based dishes, for sustainable enjoyment and natural joie de vivre.
The special quality is also reflected in the processing of the products and I am extremely satisfied with the quality of the legumes. Lentils, along with other legumes, are not only delicious and versatile, but also particularly sustainable. They have small nodules on their roots that are attached to bacteria that can convert nitrogen from the air into nutrient-rich compounds. Therefore, they can grow in particularly low nitrogen soils and provide important nutrients to the soil. By incorporating lentils into your diet, you’re not only doing good for your health, but also for the planet’s.
Vegan lentil dishes simple and fast
Today’s dish originally comes from the Persian region and is mostly cooked with chicken. I simply replace it with these wonderful lentils. The combination of roasted walnuts and pomegranate syrup, which provides a fruity-tart note, is very fine. Cooking this recipe is quick and easy and it is also very suitable for beginners.
I serve it with basmati rice and top it with fresh pomegranate seeds and parsley. If you don’t particularly like rice, you can serve it with quinoa, millet or another pseudo grain of your choice. For a low-carb version, I recommend cauliflower rice as a side dish.
TIP: Pardina lentils do not need to be soaked. Simply boil them with three to four times the amount of water and after 20-40 minutes (depending on the degree of bite you want) they are ready!
