Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3/4 cup red lentils -- rinsed

4 large potatoes

4 medium firm ripe tomatoes -- diced

1/2 cup soy mayonnaise

1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt or soy yogurt

1 teaspoon good-quality curry powder -- to taste, up to 2

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro -- or more to taste

1 scallion -- thinly sliced

Salt and freshly ground pepper -- to taste

 

Serves: 6

 

This luscious combination of potatoes, lentils, and tomatoes is an exotic

change-of-pace from the standard varieties.

 

Combine the lentils with 2 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer,

then reduce the heat and simmer gently until the water is absorbed and the

lentils are done but still firm, about 25 minutes. Drain off any excess

cooking liquid and let the lentils cool to room temperature.

 

Meanwhile, cook or microwave the potatoes in their skins until tender but

still firm. When cool enough to handle, peel and dice them.

 

Combine the lentils and potatoes in a serving bowl and add the remaining

ingredients. Toss gently but thoroughly and serve at once.
