Brown Lentils with Amaranth, Plantain and Dill - and BBQ Chicken with Sriracha Sauce and Garden Fresh Leaf Lettuce

A fairly quick, delicious and easy to prepare dinner that is high in protein, vitamins and nutritents.

Surprisingly, the country that grows the most lentils nowadays is Canada! A fact that most people probably don't know.

Lately, I have been substituting brown rice with brown lentils, because they are so easy to prepare, extremely delicious and simply packed with nutrients at a very affordable price. I also like to add leafy greens and herbs like dill to enhance their nutritional value and taste.
