Hey guys, for those of us who are vegetarian, will it work just as well without the meat? Also, would the quinoa and lentils/chickpeas make a complete protein when combined?
ReplyDeleteHey there!
ReplyDeleteYes, this dish is also great without the meat, the flavours created by the vegetables and the spices make it a fantastic vegetarian dish.
In terms of a complete protein - the vegetable proteins provided by the lentils & chickpeas, when combined with the quinoa - which has an exceptional NPU (net protein usage) rating, is a great way for vegetarians to ensure they are consuming complete proteins.
