"Meat" Sauce and Veggies

I have been trying to up my protein, after tracking my macros for several months.  I have returned to using TVP in this extremely simple, high protein recipe.

1/2 cup red lentils, washed, picked through

1/2 cup TVS (textured vegetable protein)

1 fistful of walnuts, broken into pieces

1 tbsp garlic powder

1/2 cup pasta sauce, any brand

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 cups frozen vegetables - I would gravitate to peas, broccoli

1 cup of diced carrots and onions

1 tbsp oil

Place lentils and TVP in a pot of water.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for a few minutes.  Both TVP and lentils will cook quickly.  Add your dash of soy sauce and garlic and walnuts. In a separate pot, cook the vegetables - saute onions in oil, add diced carrots.  Once cooked, add the frozen vegetables.  Saute until tender.

Drain the "meat" mixture and add pasta sauce. Stir to combine well and heat thoroughly.  Combine vegetables and "meat" into one pot and serve hot.
