Cooking Class




It was a good time last night at the special Vegan Cooking Class presented by EarthFare for S.O.S folks. For those of you who couldn't be there, I'm posting the recipe for the Curried Lentils we all got to try last night. Enjoy!


Curried Lentils

1 med. onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 med. carrot, chopped
2 cups cauliflower, chopped
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp turmeric
2 cups cooked lentils
2 cups peas (frozen)
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup vegetable stock
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

In a large saucepan over med-high heat, saute the onions, garlic, carrot, and cauliflower in the oil until the onions are glassy, but haven't started to brown. Add the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, lentils, peas, salt, and vegetable stock. Stir and reduce heat to a simmer for 10-15 minutes until cauliflower is tender but still firm. Serve over rice. (when cooking the 2 cups of lentils before hand, be careful not to over cook!)
