Hi

 

this is my all time favourite, go to

 

http://www.ox.compsoc.net/~kake/cookery

 

choose from the Courses list - Stews and Casseroles

then see the Lentil-Spinach Stew.

I just add enough stock to make it a soup, but it is totally

delicious, and heaps of people I have given the link too have loved it.

 

I have made is so many times since last year, and to be successful

you must use the fennel seeds, or it is not the same, I always use

about 1 tspn full of them:)

 

Hope you like it,

Persian

LOL@ " I always know its good when the bf doesn't mention that

" its good

even though there's nothing in it with a face " , and then asks

me if I have a

recipe for it. " Too funny.

 

I can always tell when my daughter really doesn't like something b/c

she just

gushes a bit too much about how GOOD it is. After about 5

exclaimations

she finally fesses and tells me how she really feels.

I meant to add that you can find lots of sites on-line that sell Bill's Best

Seasonings and at lots of health food stores also carry it. There is a

" Beaf " flavored one also. All Vegetarian.

It is supposed to taste like chicken, but has no animal products. See the

explanation at the bottom of the recipe. There are many places on the

internet to buy this and most Health Food stores carry it.

 

Here is what I put at the below the recipe.

Lentil Soup

 

 

You know how you can have a cookbook for a gazillion years, and suddenly

fall in love with a recipe in it that you never tried before? This is

from the '92 Moosewood Cookbook, which is the second version of the book

that I've bought. :) It's very easy and super tasty winter comfort

food. I use stock instead of water, skip the salt, add a 2-inch piece of

kombu to the lentils, and use a 14-oz can of diced tomatoes (instead of

fresh since fresh tomatoes in my area are taste-free this time of year),

and use 1/2 tsp. of all the optional dried spices. Peace, Mo

 

Lentil Soup

 

3 cups dry lentils

7 cups water

2 tsp. salt

6 to 8 medium cloves of garlic, crushed

2 cups chopped onion

2 stalks celery, chopped

2 medium carrots, sliced or diced

optional: 1/2 to 1 tsp. basil

1/2 tsp. thyme

1/2 tsp. oregano

lots of freshly ground black pepper

2 to 3 medium-sized ripe tomatoes

red wine vinegar to drizzle on top

 

1) Place lentils, water and salt in a kettle. Bring to a boil, lower

heat to the slowest possible simmer, and cook quietly, partially

covered, for 20-30 minutes.

 

2) Add veggies (except tomatoes), herbs, and pepper. Partially cover &

let simmer peacefully for another 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

 

3) Heat a medium saucepanful of water to boiling. Drop in the tomatoes

for 10 seconds, take them out, peel the skins, & squeeze out the seeds.

Chop the remaining pulp, & add to the soup. Let the soup cook for 5 more

minutes.

 

4) Serve with a drizzle of red wine vinegar on top of each bowl.

 

6-8 servings

Oooh, those sound like great additions. I'll have to try it this

weekend. Thanks!! Love, Mo

 

PS I just told my partner about your using cumin & dry mustard & was

promptly rewarded with many yummy sounds & a " Let's do that! " :)

Very good recipe! I made this tonight. I added some kale. I scooped some out

before adding the tomatoes and put it in one pot for my son who doesn't like

tomatoes. He liked it.

 

I also made roasted okra with okra I got at today's farmer's market. It was very

good, too. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Roasted-Okra/Detail.aspx?strb=1

I thought I would post my lentil soup recipe after the recent discussion of family members who don't eat completely vegan. I probably shouldn't call it my recipe since it is fairly standard, but it is how I make it. It's very popular worldwide and especially in the Middle East. I make it fairly often for my family and have been for many years. It's one of those soups that only needs bread and a salad or veggies to be a complete meal. By the way - this is made with the orange (or red) lentils, not the brown ones.

 

2 cups red lentils, sorted and rinsed

1 onion, chopped

6 cups water (or more as needed)

1-2 tsp. cumin

salt, pepper

juice of 1 lemon

chopped parsley (optional)

 

Bring lentils and water to a boil. Skim off foam, then add onion, cumin, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to med. low and simmer covered 30-45 min. or until to desired consistency, sitrring occasionally. Add more water if too thick. Add lemon juice just before serving.

 

Serve with chopped parsley and lemon wedges. Good also with crusty French bread or toasted pita chips.
