Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 Brenda-Lee, Are these the tiny orange " lentils " sold in Indian markets? If so, they're a bit bland on their own, but are great substituted for half of the brown lentils in a typical lentil soup recipe. If you don't have a good crockpot lentil soup recipe, let me know and I'll post mine. Madhur Jafree (I may have spelled that wrong) combines the red lentils with a yellow dal (I forget which one) when she makes dal with them. I've tried it and it's good (albeit not a crockpot preparation.) j. , " Keith & Brenda-Lee Olson " <kolson99@u...> wrote: > I was blessed to get 4 500 gr bags of red split peas yesterday. anyone have any thoughts of what to do with them beyond split pea soup.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 Hey J No, they aren't the little red lentils. We have a 5 gallon bucket full of them and use them all the time. These are actually just like green or yellow split peas but are red in colour. Not the orangey salmon of lentils but a deep dark red colour. That's what puzzled me at first. I know lots of different kinds of beans (in fact one soup I make uses 18 different kinds) but I had never seen red peas. I found several indian recipes which use them (apparently called Masoor Daal) in more than soup so when my husband's stomach has healed I will be using them in that for a trial. He loves indian foods but curry and gram marsala give me a migraine so I don't cook that way for him very often. Thanks for the thought.
