← Replies in Mexican Red Lentil Stew Recipe

Lentils are high protein. That is the protein in this dish.

It's so common for meat eaters to add a little chicken to vegan dishes. I do so myself. But this dish already has 30% of the daily protein requirement, so it's really not needed for protein.

I just wanted to say how much of an impact this comment had on me. My husband and I now say we have to add chicken to every dish for protein. It's even better if it's already a high protein dish.
