Stir in the soy chunks, lentils, broccoli, and peanuts.

4

Season to taste with pepper, turmeric, chile flakes, caraway, and ginger—you can be generous. Mix well.

Notes
  • •This results in one very large portion in terms of volume. A good idea is to double everything and to keep a second portion in the fridge for the next day.
  • •The broccoli can be replaced with the same amount of other frozen vegetables like spinach or brussels sprouts.
  • •The peanuts can be replaced with sunflower seeds.
