Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Wow - these sound great! The girls are all more into salty than sweet, which is good Thanks for posting the picture Christiane. Thank you all for the Welcome messages I am learning daily but as I have cooked with meats all my life I find myself lost without the use of the meat products that I have always used.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Now that would never have occurred to me!! I'm going to have to try it! :-) Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Thanks....Had to make this today. I didn't have curry powder but used garlic powder, chilli powder and cumin. It was really good and I ate most of it for lunch! I'm already thinking what other spices I can put on it. I have high blood pressure so I'd love a snack that satified my salt cravings without salt... Side note: As I was munching on the lentils it suddenly reminded me of the folks on the realality show Survivor! Remember how they lived on roasted corn?? Jane This is a great little snack food to have on hand for those salty cravings. Lentil Crunchies 1 c lentils (not red) 1 quart water Cooking spray of your choice (I used olive oil) ¼ tsp onion powder ¼ tsp curry powder 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper Place water and lentils in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 15 minutes. Drain and spread out on paper towels to dry. (I let mine sit for about 20 minutes, and then sponged them off again with another paper towel.) Line a cookie sheet with foil. Spray well with cooking spray. Spread out lentils on sheet and give them a light coating of cooking spray. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 15-20 minutes, until crisp, stirring often. Combine seasonings and toss with hot lentils. Cool and store in a airtight container.It's a wonderful little salty snack! *Once again, the spice measurements are estimated, as I'm not a measurer* Pictures can be seen on my vegetarian food blog - http://28cooks.blogspot.com Enjoy!!

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 This is very clever! It's the same idea as, say, soaked (and then dried off) garbanzo beans, deep fried and then rolled in the spices - isn't it? Except that deep frying is not a goodie and the idea of the tiny lentil nibbles is more attractive to me ;-) I guess you could happily use green or brown lentils - that's what I keep on hand for dhal etc. love, pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I do the same thing with chick peas. Only thing is I have to do it when my wife isn't around or she ends up eating them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
