This is the "girl in the corner, hiding behind her glasses, being shy but secretly a bombshell" kind of dish.

You've seen those movies right? Where the girl doesn't seem/look like she's the one the main character WANTS but we soon find out she ALL THAT, and they fall in love!

This is my rendition of that!

Q: "Hey, what are you making?"
A: "Oh, just a mixture of whatever is in the fridge!"

Cue the crickets!

That's not generally anyone's favorite thing to hear when they're excited for dinner now, is it?

Well, let's just prove them all wrong by popping together these simple ingredients that combine together to be a knock out!

The Makeover:

Here's the thing-- it's about flavor combining!
Tomato and cabbage go together like PB & J. They're a match made in heaven and if you don't believe me, just try it out for yourself!

This is kind of like deconstructed cabbage rolls in a way because the lentils and buckwheat act like the hamburg, the tomato sauce is spiced with garlic and onion so you have that familiar taste and the vegan cheeze is an add on for fun at the end!

Are you ready to fall in love?

Sprinkle with some vegan cheeze if you have some for an extra kick!
Bonus points if you marinate the buckwheat and lentils in Bragg's liquid aminos for an hour beforehand!

Now, I know she's not what you originally THOUGHT you wanted, but I hope you like her now that you've given her a chance!

I wish you yummy in your tummy!
