hi ho,
there are many lentils in my house right now, and i'm trying to decide what to do with them. lentil soup, probably. any lentil recipe suggestions?
i hope everyone is having a good holiday, wherever in the world you may be.
i am in MA currently, had a nice christmas and am so happy there is so much pretty snow!
this thursday, dec 30 i'm heading down to DC with my family, where my parents are meeting up with their college friends. they have a wonderful tradition of spending new years together (we should do this!) eli's down there now at his mom's house, so i'll be meeting up with him as well. anyone in dc area, let me know!
cheers and love,
kate
wicked easy lentil soup recipe from Global Vegetarian Cooking by Troth Wells (my go to cookbook for all things delicious)
ReplyDelete1 cup lentils
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 cup milk (I've been using oat milk, but any milk will do)
oil
salt
--soak the lentils in boiling water 10 minutes, drain, then cover with boiling water again and cook for 15 min until soft
--gently fry the onion in a pan with the oil for 5 minutes, then add the chili powder and cook for 3-5 min. Add the cooked lentils w/ their liquid and stir.
--add the milk and blend together in a blender and you're done!
there are other recipes in this cookbook that call for more spices, tomatoes, chickpeas, other veggies, bulgur, etc if you want to make it more of meal or more interesting, but I think this one is my favorite because it's so quick and simple
have fun in DC!
oh, I forgot to mention that the cooking directions for the lentils there are best with red lentils, so you might need to vary how you cook other kinds for it to work out well (I had a troublesome experience adequately cooking lentils in a different recipe I substituted green for red )
