Quick, Easy, Tasty Lentil Recipes – Four Lentil Incarnations
Lentils have not enjoyed the most glamorous of reputations. Perhaps it's because they're so healthy that the rebellious child in us wants to throw a hissy-fit. After all, no one wants to be preached to, do they? Or perhaps there's a bit of culinary snobbery going on - can something so cheap and accessible really be such a top-class food? But the truth is that sometimes, it's none of these. Some people just think lentils don't taste nice. The chances are that they've never tasted lentils cooked really, really well, in dish.
So let's give the lentil-loathers a second chance. It's time to give lentils a make-over, a PR spin, a new lease of life. Here then, are two fantastic lentil recipes that will convert even the most stubborn of critics into fans. 1. Mild or spicy: Lentil Dahl 2. New Year's Eve Classic: Lentils and Pork 1. Mild or spicy: Lentil Dahl (adapted from Madhur Jaffrey) The quantities in this recipe give a fairly gloopy dahl, which you can eat with naan bread and rice. Use more spices if you prefer stronger flavours, and adjust the amount of liquid to get the consistency you like.
First, here is the Amish Friendship Bread Starter Recipe. Note, as with any sourdough, avoid using metal spoons or bowls. You need: 1 pkg. active dry yeast 1/4 cup warm water 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup white sugar 1 cup warm milk
The frozen cubes are already in manageable pureed serving portions. You can even use the puree mixture as a nutritious alternative to jarred baby food.
Sweet breads (banana bread, corn bread, some cookies, brownies, etc.) and or pancakes: These are a big harder to hide veggies. For this reason, you should use sweeter veggies and ones that have a more mild flavor. I also either shred or food process them before adding them to the food. We have used carrots, corn, sweet potato, squash, cucumber, etc. Add the pureed vegetables along with the wet ingredients. You can make these fun! Sweet potato pancakes with a handful of strawberries are "Pink pancakes" fit for a princess and adding spinach and blueberries make terrific "Incredible Hulk" pancakes.
For a sweet gift, consider wrapping up a loaf of the bread with a recipe card and giving it to a friend. I prefer this method to handing someone a Ziploc bag of starter and a xeroxed copy of a recipe. If a friend asks for starter -- sourdough or sweet -- I happily hand it over. I think, however, that someone has to be ready to have a starter in their lives. It's kind of like giving someone a puppy. Did you want a puppy? No? Well, now what do you do? Sharing a starter is fun, but more fun is making a wonderful quick bread. Enjoy!
