About Lentils with tomato paste

Lentils with tomato paste is a nutritious and flavorful dish commonly found in Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines. It typically features cooked lentils simmered in a tangy tomato paste sauce, often seasoned with garlic, onions, cumin, and paprika for depth of flavor. Lentils are a great source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, and folate, making this dish highly nutritious and ideal for vegetarian and vegan diets. The tomato paste adds vitamins like A and C as well as antioxidants such as lycopene, which support overall health. While this dish is low in fat and cholesterol-free, its healthiness may depend on preparation methods; excessive oil or salt can increase calorie content and sodium levels. When made with wholesome ingredients and moderate seasoning, lentils with tomato paste is a hearty, nutrient-dense meal that’s both satisfying and beneficial for a balanced diet.
