• Menu Suggestions
• An Indian-style legume or vegetable dish goes well with this easy grain preparation. Just ahead in this chapter, you'll find Chana Masala (page 99), a curried chickpea dish. Add a salad of diced tomatoes and cucumbers (with chopped fresh dill or cilantro, if you'd like) in a creamy vegan dressing, and pass around some chutney (store-bought or Apricot Chutney, page 225).
• This also teams well with earthy lentil dishes like Stewed Lentils with Soy Sausage (page 108) or Lentils with Greens and Sun-Dried Tomatoes (page 111). The tomato and cucumber salad described above will complement this meal as well.
• See the menu with Black and White Beans with Citrus and Mint (page 102).
