Quinoa–Red Lentil Risotto With Asparagus & Peas

The pairing of red lentils and quinoa is perfect for a plant-based, protein-packed risotto. The lentils cook quickly and lose their shape, adding to the creaminess of the dish, while the quinoa provides a pleasantly nutty flavor and bite. Quick and low-maintenance, this is also a cheat’s risotto with less ladling and stirring than traditional versions. Reprinted with permission from "The New Porridge," by Leah Vanderveldt, 2018.
