Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup Quinoa uncooked
  • 2 Medium Sweet Potaotes
  • Small Bunch of Kale
  • ½ tsp Sesame Oil
  • Salt & Pepper for the Kale
  • 1 can Lentils 1½ cups strained and rinsed
  • 227 g Tempeh
  • Juice of 1-2 Lemons
  • ½ cup Chopped Sundried Tomatoes not in oil
  • ¼ Red Onion diced

Cashews Sour Cream

Instructions
 

  • Start by cooking your quinoa in water and cube your sweet potato. Air fry your sweet potato at 400f for 15-20 minutes until slightly crispy or bake at 450 for 20-30 minutes. Make sure to toss your potatoes halfway through.
  • Steam or boil your kale. If boiling make sure most of the water has drained. Drizzle on a touch of sesame oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss and set aside.
  • Crumble your tempeh into a pan over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes until the tempeh has slightly crisped. Add in your lentils along with a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Finely dice your onions and sundried tomato.
  • Make your cashew sour cream in a high speed blender and blend until smooth. You will have leftover of this so make a half batch if you don't want any leftovers!
  • Assemble your containers by driving the ingredients into 3. Add your chopped onion and sundried tomatoes on top along with 2 heaping tablespoons of the cashew sour cream.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 4 days and enjoy!
