We’ve been cooking with lentils a lot more lately, partly because I got a craving for meatless loaf, and partly because we only recently fully realized just how much sodium is in canned beans.
So my wife made some lentil burgers, and they were great!
It’s a Tim curry because I’m Tim, it’s a curry, and I wrote the recipe. Also, it can’t decide whether it wants to be a mad scientist, and evil clown, or a professional pirate when it grows up.
2 medium potatoes, cooked and diced. Sweet potatoes taste even better than white potatoes, but both work well
2/3 to 1 cup cooked cut carrots
1/4 to 1/2 medium red onion, sliced thin
3 cloves garlic, diced
1/4 to 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
Curry powder and red pepper to taste
Salt and black pepper
Directions:
If you haven’t done so already, cook the potatoes, lentils, and carrots
Simmer the onion,garlic, and red bell pepper in a little water until slightly soft
Stir in the lentils, potatoes, and carrots
Add curry and ground red pepper to taste
Cook covered on low heat for 10 minutes, until everything is hot, and the flavors have mixed. If it doesn’t treats quite right, add curry, stir, and simmer a few minutes longer.
Add salt and black pepper to taste on the plate. You’ll use a lot less salt that way, and it will taste better.
Eat over rice for best effect
It’s hard to express how much I like this recipe, so I’ll let a more eloquent Tim do it for me:
