3 Ingredient Marinara Lentils (Vegan)

2 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup red lentils, rinsed
1 25 oz jar of marinara sauce (my personal favorite is Yo Mamas)
25 oz filtered water
2 teaspoons salt or 2 vegan bouillon cubes

‍

Add the extra virgin olive oil and the lentils to a pot with a tight fighting lid, breaking apart any clumps. Add the jar of marinara. Fill the empty jar with filtered water. Return lid to jar and give the water a good shake. Add water/sauce mixture to the pot along with the salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is combined.

Over medium-high heat, bring the lentils to a high simmer, place the lid on the pot and turn the heat to low. Let lentils simmer on low for 20 minutes. Turn off heat. Remove lid and stir.

I love to serve these lentils over a bed of couscous with sautéed veggies on top, over toast, in a burrito or taco, tossed in some whole wheat pasta, or just by themselves.
