Tip: Shelled edamame is usually easy to find with frozen vegetables.
Ingredients
- 1 cup lentils
- ¾ cup shelled edamame
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1½ cups minced red onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 6 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
- 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh mint
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. cumin

Directions
- Place lentils in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer until tender (25-30 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- Halfway through cooking the lentils, place edamame in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender (2-3 minutes). Drain.

Simple Advice That's Hard to Follow
It’s easy to get influenced by the latest trend only to find out later that you’ve been duped by clever marketing that may be only partially true. Fortunately, my supermarket offers Guiding Stars, which highlights foods with good, better, or best nutritional quality to help me cut through the clutter and inform my decisions. Even if a product claims it’s keto-friendly or gluten-free, I know the stars will indicate whether the product has more positives than negatives per calorie. Armed with Pollan’s wisdom and with the stars as a reference, I can shop my local store with fresh eyes.
