Lentils Ole




Here is one of my current favorite recipes, quick and delicious.
It freezes well also. Serves about 4 as a main dish.

Lentils Ole (originally from the Jane Brody Good Food Gourmet, modified)

1c lentils
3c water
1/2c chopped scallions (green & white parts), or onion (either is good)
1/2c green peppers, diced
1/2c red peppers, diced
1 TBSP chili powder (adjust to taste, esp. if you use spicy chili powder)
1/2 tsp cumin seeds, crushed (what I use) or 1 tsp ground cumin
4 cloves minced garlic
1-2 TBSP red wine vinegar
1 8oz can tomato sauce
1 TBSP molasses

Bring the lentils and water to a boil, then cover & simmer for about 25 - 30
minutes until soft but not mushy. While the lentils cook, saute the scallions,
pepppers, garlic, chili powder and cumin in 1 TBSP vinegar til the vegetables
are limp (about 2 mins). (NB: I do use a nonstick pan for this step.)
Add tomato sauce and molasses, cook for 1 minute (scrape the stuck pieces
off the pan), taste and add more vinegar if needed (I usually add another
TBSP). Add mixture to lentils and cook until heated through.

Great over rice, or maybe as a burrito or taco filling (recommend using less
than 3c. water then, since this comes out very sauce-y).
