We first eat with our eyes then taste the food, so presenting food in different forms has a huge positive impact for kids at meal times. Sometimes it could be the make or break of a dish if presented in a particular way. I remember my Mum making some thing similar to this when I was a kid except she used meat and rice in her dish. I wanted to re create my childhood memory sans the meat and rice, making a vegetarian version. These are quick and easy to make filled with plant based protein from the lentils and cheese whether it be vegan or vegetarian. I used ripe beef organic tomato but you could easily use capsicum as well for a different flavor. I absolutely loved the texture of the lentils and all the flavors combined. Kids found it a novelty to be eating out of a tomato which was a rather big win around our dinner table.
