Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the lentils under cold water.
- In a small saucepan, add the lentils and cover them with water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain any excess water and set aside to cool.
- While the lentils are cooking, toast the slice of whole-wheat bread in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.
- Once the bread is toasted, spread 2 tablespoons of hummus evenly over the top.
- Layer the cooled lentils over the hummus.
- Sprinkle the chopped celery over the lentils.
- Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes on top.
- Add a generous handful of alfalfa sprouts.
- Finally, sprinkle the pumpkin seeds over the top for a crunchy finish.
- Serve the open-face toast immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Tips:
- Rinse the lentils thoroughly before cooking to remove any debris and to reduce cooking time.
- Cook lentils in advance and store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; this makes assembly quick and easy.
- Toast the whole-wheat bread for extra crunch and to prevent it from getting soggy from the toppings.
- Use a high-quality hummus for a creamy and flavorful base.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, cucumbers, or bell peppers to enhance the nutritional value.
- For added flavor, sprinkle some salt, pepper, and a dash of lemon juice over the toast.
- Toasting the pumpkin seeds in a dry skillet for a few minutes can give them a richer flavor and added crunch.
