Guest guest Posted November 17, 2009 Report 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

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2009 Report 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
