Guest guest Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Hi everyone, I just joined this group and am thrilled to see it is so active. What a great resource for recipes! I have already spotted several I want to try! About me - 37/F, live in northern BC, Canada, and work as a reflexologist. Starting to learn more about vegetarian/vegan/raw foods :-) Here is one of my favorite recipes to make, especially on a cold winter day... Daal Serves 6 · 2 cups red lentils · 2 tablespoons olive oil · 1 yellow onion, finely chopped · 1 teaspoon cumin seeds · 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom · 4 cloves garlic, minced · 4 cups vegetable broth · 1 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes with their juice · 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro · 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger · 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, minced* · 1 teaspoon ground turmeric · 1 teaspoon salt · Place the lentils on a clean, flat surface, preferably light in color to visually aid in the sorting. Sort through the lentils and discard any pebbles or chaff. Place the sorted lentils in a fine mesh strainer and rinse with cold running water, drain. Heat the oil in a large heavy bottom 5-quart pan over medium-high heat, and sauté the onion until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the cumin seeds, cardamom, and garlic to the pan and stir until the spices are just fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the broth, tomatoes, lentils, cilantro, ginger, jalapeño pepper, turmeric and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring often, until lentils become soft, about 15 minutes. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 This daal recipe is pretty different from the simple one I usually make with red lentils - think I'll try it out. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
