Easy Vegan "Meat"

Adapted from Oh She Glows- Ultimate Green Taco Wraps

Ingredients:
1c. uncooked French green lentils (Not red, too mushy)
1c. walnuts

Spices-
For a Mexican Meal
2-3T. Penzeys Bold Taco seasoning
or
2t. each of cumin, chili powder, oregano

For an Italian Meal
2-3T Penzeys Italian seasoning
or
2t. each of minced garlic, thyme, oregano, basil


Rinse lentils and add to pot then cover with water and a sprinkle of salt.  Cover and bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium to simmer for 20 minutes or until tender.  Drain water.  Cool lentils.

 In the food processor, add 1c. cooled lentils (you will have some lentils leftover), 1c. walnuts, and seasonings.  Pulse to combine.  (DO NOT OVER PULSE.  It will turn to mush.) Pulse until it looks like ground meat.

I have used this in tacos, burrito bowls, topping spaghetti, lasagna, and topping Zuppa Toscana soup.
