Weight Watchers Red Lentil Kebabs

Ingredients:
For the Red Lentil Kebabs:

  • 1 cup red lentils, rinsed and drained
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or a small amount of cooking oil for grilling or pan-frying

For the Tahini Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

For the Red Lentil Kebabs:

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the red lentils and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the lentils are tender and most of the water is absorbed. Drain any excess water and let cool slightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked red lentils, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, rolled oats, chopped parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Form the mixture into kebab shapes using your hands or skewers. If using skewers, wet them lightly to prevent sticking.
  4. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray or brush with a small amount of cooking oil. Grill or pan-fry the kebabs for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and heated through.

For the Tahini Sauce:

  1. While the kebabs are cooking, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, combine tahini, fresh lemon juice, water, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined. Add more water if needed to reach desired consistency.

Serving:

  1. Serve the Red Lentil Kebabs hot, drizzled with tahini sauce and garnished with extra chopped parsley if desired. They can be enjoyed in pita bread, with rice, or as part of a salad.
