Theme of the Month: Lentils and Beans!

[Guest guest]

It's a while since we had a Theme of the Month, but I figure the time is right.

 

Lentils and beans are good, can be prepared in numberless ways for both eastern

and

western tastes and for a variety of cuisines. They are also easy to prepare -

cook them

from scratch in your own kitchen (my preferred way) or buy them in a good brand

in tins/

cans from your local healthfood shop or supermarket (watching the ingredients

list to

make sure nothing non-veg*n has been added). Lentils and beans, I don't need to

add, are

easy on the budget and a great source of nutrition for everyone :=) Furthermore,

the dried

ones take up little space in the pantry and don't even have a use-by date!

 

So remembering our hot and spicy theme for this Vegetarian Spice group, send in

your

favourite lentil and bean recipes. We want to try them all, right?

 

[As always, *any* hot and spicy recipe is welcome here, with or without lentils

and beans -

of course!]

 

Best,
