Don't forget the sauce!

Our dinner tonight was a way of cleaning out the fridge. We had some leftover peanut sauce hanging around that we were planning to use in a grain bowl. We also had leftover corn (both canned and on the cob) and grilled eggplant lurking in the fridge.

And then I picked up a big bunch of dino kale, and some beautiful purple and yellow beans at the market on Friday that I needed to use up.

So, we made some lentils and some rice. We heated and cooked. We assembled, and we ate. The verdict? Delicious!


Corn is a great way to add sweetness to mask bitter veggies like kale. The green beans provided texture. And the peanut sauce lent a nutty richness that went with the myriad of flavors. And now we have room in our fridge for more leftovers!
