Spiced Lentil Nachos

Gathering almost always involves food that “crunches” in the soul - soul food.  Before moving overseas, nachos were that soul food dish that I could, without fail, quickly put together for any gathering.  After moving abroad,  I often didn’t know where to go for my “go to” nacho ingredients.  Starting in Moshi, Tanzania where there were no “nacho chips” available,  I turned to crispy cassava (yucca) chips (i.e. crisps) instead.  I began experimenting with creating my own “salsa” and taco seasoning from scratch.  Like most of my recipes, this one has evolved with the different places I’ve lived.  In Kenya, I use “yam” crisps and while in Angola, I use cassava crisps.  In London, I used good ole Corn Tortilla crisps with a touch of quinoa.  

Rather than using meat,  these nachos use lentils as a protein.  To top it off,  instead of using  sour cream, which can be hard to come by, I use plain yoghurt as a topping. We hope you will get creative and add your own locally inspired crunch for the soul with our Spiced Lentil Nachos.
