Here’s another Engine 2 recipe which I have slightly altered. Full of delicious melt-in-your mouth veggies and protein-packed green lentils, this savory caponata hits all the right notes. Sop up the deliciousness with a fluffy, whole-grain pita for maximum dramatic effect! Makes one medium serving.

Italian seasoning blend · 3 Roma tomatoes, diced · 1 red pepper, diced · 1 zucchini, diced · 1 garlic clove, minced or diced · 2 tsps.
