Lentils With Sweet Potatoes

Wed, 25 Mar 2009 02:16:30 -0400

Delicious, hearty, and extremely healthy. The only drawback is that there's a fair amount of chopping -- I have very little time to make dinner during the week, so I usually do the chopping for this over the weekend, and then just start throwing things in the pot after work. This is a variation on a recipe from Mark Bittman's _How to Cook Everything Vegetarian_, but that recipe calls for regular potatoes and no onions. I really enjoy the flavor of sweet potatoes, and I think onions make everything better, so I do it this way. We often eat it over brown rice, but it's also good just by itself. -- posted by Becky #7

Spaghetti With Lentil Bolognaise

Wed, 15 Apr 2009 02:10:48 -0400

A versatile vegetarian bolognaise and a great way to get some nutritious lentils into your diet! Adapted from a recipe I found online. I love the vegetables that were in the original recipe but you could vary them depending on what's in season, what's reasonably priced and, of course, to meet your taste preferences. I just had to add a leek as I love the subtle blend of flavours from onion, garlic and leek cooked together. And when I made this I used probably double the 15 mushrooms included in the original recipe! :) Vary the herbs to meet the whim of the moment! -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Roasted Mushroom, Walnuts and Lentil Goo in Scoops

Sat, 18 Apr 2009 17:16:31 -0400

I came to this recipe after much trial and error... I think it is close to a very good Veggie Pate/Goo I had at a "Harmonic Conversion" in Santa Monica, CA a few years back. My "harmonic" vibe has kind of worn off, but my Goo has developed a "harmonic" life of it's own! I use Scoops Tortilla chips. If you can't find Mizuna leaves, watercress can be subbed. -- posted by Chef #643376-Mother Pug

Got this recipe from a food bank to help teach people to cook with lentils. Wonderful recipe....vegetarian dish just do not add the meat but add 16 oz of frozen corn or a can of corn and tofu. You can change the heat by putting diced tomatos and mild chili seasonings. Don't forget the corn bread with this or garlic bread. -- posted by Chef Lov2bug

Vegetarian Bobotie

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 12:32:08 -0400

This is my own vegetarian adaptation of the traditional Cape Malay dish of my country. I have tried to approximate flavour and texture as closely as possible and have retained all the ingredients my mother used when making it - aside from the mince, of course :) This project has been very important to me as most of the vegetarian versions I have found online so far are rather inaccurate. Bobotie was one of my favourite dishes as a child and I wanted to preserve and share that memory as much as I could. -- posted by Cora_and_Clarice

Lentil Tomato Pie

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 21:39:02 -0400

A deliciously filling pie loved by vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Perfect for taking to picnics and potlucks or served with soup on a winters day. A pre baked bought pie crust can also be used. The pie crust works well with both wholewheat and half and half flour as it gives the crust more substance, however, white flour can be used if preferred. This pie can also be made without a crust on top. It works just as well, cuts down on fat and still looks and tastes delicious. -- posted by the_allergic_chef

Sweet & Sour Sprouted Mung Beans

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 01:52:57 -0400

This is an Indian hearty dhal (lentil soup) from the state of Gujarat, that was taught to me by mother-in-law. The preparation requires some planning, but the results are excellent. Two notes: 1) the original dish was meant to be 'Saatvic' (a type of Hindu food considered pure), which usually means no onions or garlic, but it is tasty both ways and; 2) the recipe calls for jaggery, which can be bought in a local Indian grocer, but sugar works almost as well. -- posted by Meera

Lentil and Vegetable Stew

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 11:15:52 -0400

This is a great recipe for toddlers, especially if you are vegetarian or have a baby who is not fussed on eating meat. My grandson refuses to chew meat (now aged 19 mths) so we are always looking for ways to make sure he gets an adequate diet. These simple ingredients cook up easily and the recipe makes at least 10 servings and is good to freeze. -- posted by Kiwi Kathy

Refried Lentils

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 10:02:28 -0400

Threw this together one day when I had nothing in the fridge (save condiments). Lentils cook much, much quicker than dried pintos, and have more protein and fiber. I used my mini-slow cooker, but can be made in a pot on the stove top. Makes 2 servings for a main course with tortillas or chips, 4 servings as a side. -- posted by catwolf

I found this in a Cooking Light magazine. It's quick & easy! My kids (8 & 10) even liked it, but using 1 tsp of red pepper made it almost too spicey for them. It's an interesting combination of textures & flavors - the beans make it 'feel' earthy! -- posted by WhatsCookinGoodLookin?!

Lentil Vegetable Pottage

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 21:32:07 -0400

From "Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook" by Jeanne Marie Martin. I changed the recipe a little: less celery, more carrots, a little more salt. I don't use the onion, garlic or bell peppers, personal preference. The Homemade Boullion Cubes and Vegetable Broth Powder are recipes in the same book. They look time and labor intensive and I haven't made them yet - I skip them and put in the tamari. She suggests simmering the tamari to kill any yeast or mold in it, but I don't know why you would have to in this recipe, since the tamari is cooked for at least 15 minutes. -- posted by Jetta

I am really trying to eat less meat these days. I was looking for something quick to make but without bouncing back to cooking meat.

Vegan Lentil Soup in 20 Minutes

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 14:25:45 -0400

I admit, the first time I used a pressure cooker I was a little afraid. I left my studio and stood on the other side of the door to avoid severe burning and disfigurement if my pot of legumes exploded. I called a friend to ask her if I was doing it right. But now I see the pressure cooker like a trusted friend who only wants to save me some valued time. So when I saw this lentil recipe in Veganomicon by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and the preparation time of 1 hour, I was so glad I had a pressure cooker to cut the time by nearly two-thirds, borrowing a technique from the Spanish and the Lentils with Chorizo Sausage Recipe (Recipe #342592). The first thing I did was skip the step where you sauté the onion and carrots for 10 minutes. It's unnecessary, and you'll find that my method makes a soup with a smoother, more pleasant consistency by cooking the vegetables whole or halved, then removing and pureeing them afterwards. My kitchen has a surplus of brown lentils, so those are what I used. I'm going to keep the brown lentils in the recipe because I don't know if French lentils require more liquid. One thing I want to try for next time, since I used bouillon cubes, is to break them up and try to dissolve them in step 2 rather than prepare the stock ahead of time, and I plan to cut down the salt next time. I find the best way to seed plum tomatoes is to cut them in half and sweep out the seedy parts with your index finger. The soup you'll get from this is addictively delicious and filling, and you'll feel like a genius for owning a pressure cooker. -- posted by Valeria

Vegetable Pastitsio With Lentils

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 17:08:48 -0400

I adapted this recipe from the Moosewood celebrates cook book. They call for egg plant but didn't have any and it has marginal nutritional value. I think this recipe works well with any variety of vegetables. I also used gouda cheese instead of feta because that is what I had on hand. -- posted by Chef #927351

Easy One Pot Lentils and Rice

I made this for dinner tonight, and the whole family loved it. I make lentils and rice quite often in a million and one different ways, and never with a recipe, but decided to post this one for safe keeping so that I can make it this way again. I served this as a rice ring (with easy glazed carrots and raisins in the middle). I had no onions on hand, but this would be excellent with carmelized onions on top. You may need to use a little more or less water depending on the age of your lentils. I used 6 1/2 cups, and it was perfect. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did! -- posted by Chef #1082457

Yummy Indian Crunch Patties / Lentil & Chickpea Masala Vedai

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 20:36:48 -0400

I finally got the blades to go back on that $*%#@! food processor correctly so I've been making lots of fritters. (Preferably all at once and freezing so A) I don't have to scramble looking for something to eat between classes, and B) I hate washing that cantankerous odious thing and the less I have to wash it out, the better.) I found a website (if my brain was working right now I could remember what site it was) that had lots of cool Indian and vegan recipes. I browsed through many then I got this idea for some spicy fritters that didn't involve me getting up to go back out to the store; I'll probably be posting fritter/crunch patty recipes all week. These are not quite bhajia, not quite masala vedai, but they're tasty. And vegan! Yields about 10 crunch patties. -- posted by the80srule

Warm comfort food. Someone gave me this recipe years ago. To provide contrast, serve with something crunchy and/or something colorful.

Lentils With Cumin and Asafetida

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:32:27 -0500

This is a wonderful Indian lentil side dish. Asafetida has a very strong, musky smell that many people find unappealing. Store it in an airtight container to prevent it from contaminating your other spices, and if you really don't like the smell, keep it in the freezer--I left it in my car for a little while and everything in the car smelled like it afterward. Despite the strange smell, I have not yet met anyone who dislikes the flavor once it's prepared! This recipe comes from a cookbook called Madhur Jaffrey's Spice Kitchen. All the ingredients should be available at any Indian grocery store. -- posted by Edana

Pasta With Lentils

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:08:31 -0500

A couple of notes about this recipe. First of all, this is a recipe for one person. I know that doesn't seem true, but the 4 coups of water boil down really fast. Secondly, I usually soak my lentils beforehand because it makes them cook quicker. Third, I put "2 oz" of pasta, because that's usually the serving size for one person for pasta... sometimes it's 1/4 of a cup, and sometimes it's more. Just go with what the box says, or whatever you feel is good for you. Also, you can do it with rice instead of pasta if you so desire! It's equally as yummy! -- posted by michelle!

I had a pot of lentils and only a vague idea to use them to make soup. Then I took a look at the recipes here for patties and burgers and decided to have a go at it. Per usual, I had this and that on hand and out came this creation. It's GREAT with ketchup and is the closest I've come to having something vegetarian homemade that tasted like my Mom's meatloaf. It makes a fabulous burger too! Substitute curry powder or chili powder for the italian seasoning for a different taste or leave out the italian seasoning altogether for a really plain burger. -- posted by Honeywine
