Like my Butter Chicken Tofu Curry (that doesn't contain any chicken), this 'ground meat' recipe uses lentils and walnuts instead of minced beef or turkey. Mixed with the herbs and spices, I think it actually tastes like meat. The fat content in this 'meat' dish comes from the walnuts, with no cholesterol. A serving provides over 10g fiber and protein!
The lentil walnut meat was perfect mixed with some peppers and onions and served in 2 corn tortillas. As mentioned above, it looked and smelled like meat; even the cat was convinced and wanted some!
