I've mad a lot of beans lately for my slow carb diet....but I hadn't tackled lentils. I like lentil soup so I was sure I'd like them prepared any other way. I was right!
I also love curry so I thought this would be a great way to prepare them. Even my kids liked them....although they were not sure about them to begin with.
Curried Lentils
1 white onion, chopped
2 carrot, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 apple, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1 1/4 cup uncooked lentils
1 1/2 tsp curry powder
4 cups water
Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low/medium and cook until done, about 70 minutes.
Yesterday I made butternut squash and lentil stew in the crockpot - delicious! I love that you don't have to soak lentils before you can use them.
