Vegeterian Tips: While everyone else that you are with is chomping down on huge T Bone steaks and French fries, you can turn a side salad and baked potato into your meal, if nothing else is available.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 8 oz uncooked green lentils (continental lentils)
- 1 lb of fresh spinach washed and roughly chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic crushed or chopped finely
- 1 inch cube of ginger grated
- 2 tablespoons of cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground corriande
- salt to taste
Directions:
Wash and pick any stones or husks from the lentils and put into a
large cooking pot with 2pts of water. Add 1/2 the salt and bring to
the boil cook over a moderate heat until all the lentils are cooked.
Most of the water should have been absorbed during the cooking time if
not drain the lentils and let them drain. Take another sauce pan
which is big enough to hold the uncooked spinach and heat the oil on a
high flame. put in the garlic, ginger and cummin seeds. As the
garlic begins to brown put in the washed, chopped spinach. This will
take a little time to cook down, keep stiring so it does not catch on
the bottom of the pan. There will be some liquid fron the spinach
collecting in the bottom of the pan, don”t worry this will be absorbed
when it is mixed with the lentils. Add the spices to the spinach
mixture. Mix the cooked lentils and spinch together and add salt to
taste. This is quite a dry dish and is good with onion raitha.\r If
you like spicy foods you can add green chillies with the
garlic and ginger.
Serves: four people.
Preparation time: 1 hour.
