Iron rich Crispy Potato & Lentil Waffles with a Bloody Mary Tomato Salsa

These waffles nearly drove me mad. I kept trying to make them more iron-rich and every time I added one more ingredient… they got worse! Too soft or too dense. So I stripped the recipe back a bit and somehow that was the answer. They’re properly crispy, freeze so well, and I just throw them in the toaster for lunch. Obviously they needed something with plenty of vitamin C, so I made a Bloody Mary-inspired salsa. And let me tell you… it’s a match made in heaven! They’re part of my the freezer stash now.

If you make 6 smaller waffles, 2 waffles provide around 5 mg of iron. If you make 4 larger waffles, 2 waffles provide around 7 mg of iron. Paired with the vitamin C-rich Bloody Mary salsa, you’ve got a seriously nourishing lunch or snack that helps support iron absorption.
