I did make changes based on what I had on hand. Used split peas instead of lentils (thought the split peas WERE lentils when checking inventory!!), kale instead of chard, and added mushrooms. Just about doubled the spices and added cumin. This is an awesome recipe and could totally be customized to your tastes and what's on hand. I can only imagine it would freeze super well to boot!! I'll be making this a LOT for healthy lunches. It's just jam packed with "super foods" (I always picture a butternut squash with a cape). I made this last night and it was pretty darned good!

I definitely would leave out the added garnish of scallions and tamari almonds, or just add plain toasted almonds to the top. Those two additions, in my opinion, made for too many things going on in my mouth that didn't quite go together. I would also use less lime juice. Anyways, I am having it today as leftovers and am enjoying it more the second time around now that it has had time to mellow and the flavours have fused together more (and minus the garnish)! p.s. I suggest serving it on top of Quinoa!

Just came home from a trip (to NYC!) and thawed a bag I'd reserved a month or so back. Bare-pantry, post-vacation lunch was never so good. this freezes wonderfully.

No tamari almonds but thinking of making some from slivers and tamari that I have.. why buy when you can put things together yourself!!!
