About Green lentil sauce

Green Lentil Sauce is a hearty and protein-rich option often used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Made from cooked green lentils blended with ingredients like onions, garlic, olive oil, tomatoes, and aromatic spices such as cumin or paprika, this sauce is both flavorful and nourishing. Packed with fiber, plant-based protein, iron, and folate, it’s an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans seeking balanced nutrition. Olive oil provides heart-healthy fats, while the tomatoes add antioxidants like vitamin C and lycopene. However, depending on preparation, added salt or excessive oil can impact its health benefits, so mindful seasoning is recommended. This versatile sauce pairs beautifully with rice, pasta, flatbreads, or roasted vegetables, making it a wholesome addition to meals focused on balanced eating and global flavors.
